ITS'S RAINING WTF!! ok i guess i'm showing my knowledge in racing but why would they do this? 99' Contour SVT Amazon Green #299 of 2,670 "Maggie" Many mods on the future "to-do" list marines puttin me on hold.....go figure

I know when we ran at Gingerman for SZ02 we were told we had to have our windows down. I think it has somehting to do with being able to get out in an emrgency or maybe to keep glass shards from flying into your face in the event of a bad crash....just some guesses.
