Ice Race Tech ?

[Caveman]

Hi all
As this is my first year building a ice racer I was wondering about a couple of things for tech. Street Stud or Rubber to Ice

1- Windshield crack? Dose not pass MTO standards for a safety as it passes under drivers wiper sweep.
2- If #1 fails is lexan OK to run? On all window openings?
3- Sun roof, dose it have to be replaced with a sheet of tin?
4- High mount Brake light, can it be in a wing? Or dose it have to be in the cab / back window?
5- Bumper skins, Can I carriage bolt them on?

Thanks

the crack cannot go through both sides of the glass... lexan is alright to use, but sucks with wipers...
sunroof, if it is glass must be covered with sheet metal.
the wing light would be accectable.. i have seen other cars like that..
as long as your bumpers cannot hook on anything. such as another car.

Re: Ice Race Tech ?

Rob just a heads up,tractionizing used tires isn't to good for the unit as the tire is full of small stones that dull the spikes.Picking them out is also no fun I expect.

Re: Ice Race Tech ?

Thats what the young kids at the shop are for.
Then spin it up to 160 on the hoist.

SS it is

Re: Ice Race Tech ?

Cool,you'll like SS better for sure-no guessing which tires to try,no mountain of tires that you've tried and didn't work but are saving just in case the perfect imaginary condition does happen this year,grip is pretty close every lap and fwd SS is REALLY friggin competitive!.

See you there.
