it SHOULD fail (assuming you were talking about an actual crack, not just a small rock chip)

DQ for you.
I did let a driver with a cracked windshield race but he was the sponser of the race, so if you have enough money it can be done.Crack was on the pass side.

That's where mine is. I thought that at a test and tune they might possibly be more lenient. When it comes to drag racing, I don't know "chit."
