Thanks for the video.

Does the car have driver/passanger windows? Should it have window nets?

It has no windows. I have a net I can install but the events I am doing don't require a net. If you have windows they need to be rolled down.

Charley next time you go to T Hill let me know and I will come up . I know the track pretty well and can probably help you get some time off if you want. I run a 1:48 there through the nest but my partner is faster and has run as fast as a 1:46 through the nest. I have driven a lot of tracks and even when Thunderhill was only 1.9 miles it was a lot of fun to drive, defintiely one of my favorites ! We should be there in the next 45 days to test the new car.. we hope

The car sounds killer in the video and you have some nice lines.. waving each time on a pass when you get a point by costs you 2/10ths... it has been scientifically proven :) There I just picked you up 4 seconds!

Hey Charley -

Because of my total lack of knowledge here, why do they require windows to be rolled down ?

Cool video. Looks like you had a blast...

You drive pretty good!!

How much power does that car have? You were blowing by everything in the straights.

There a few reasons. Access in case of an accident. Better communication with a corner worker . If you are in an accident and you need to get out of the car and the door won't open. A window can be a hard thing to break plus it can cause further injury should it break on an impact . Window nets are required to keep your hands and arms on the car in case of a roll over. Open cars also require the driver to wear arm restraints . I still have to wear arm restraint because my car has a carbon roof and in a roll over that piece can get peeled away pretty easy

Thanks. Yeah, you definitely want to keep those arms inside in a rollover...
