Default Foggy Winshield????

I dunno if this is the right section but when i go to the track and i get ready to run as soon as i pull up to teh staging lane my winshield starts to fog over real bad to where i cant see out of it and the only thing i can do is put the a/c on or the defrost. Does this happen to anyone else and doesnt the a/c being on hurt my 1/4mile times.

Also I've read that the a/c doesn't hurt anything at WOT

The problem with the running AC is dripping condensor.. if it drips water in the staging lane or on the track.. u will get the boot.. I have no AC, Heat or windshield wipers.. I use rain x on the windshield and havent had a problem.. I use it on the inside and outside..

Ya it starts a light fog then about 1/2 ay down i cant see a damn thing my first time i went to the track i almost bounced of the wall. I was going a lil over 70 and within like 1second my whole winshield was fogged. I started slowing down and rubbing with my hand so i could see. Is there anyway to cure this maybe leave the defrost on low or crack my windows a bit.

use Rain-X from Wal-Mart, they got those handy wipes you can store and use for a "foggy-day"
