Default No tint?

Hi, I saw in the rulebook that tint is not allowed on drag cars? Why is this? I know that tint will hold the window when it tries to shatter. I would really like tint, but I don't want to just turn around and have to take it off. Thank you!

I've never had anyone say anything about my tint.
I think it's a rule that's not really enforced.

Basically the no tint rule is so the officials can look into your car and check your belts, etc. Also to see if you're doing anything illegal in the class, like using a delay box in a no box class, a button in a footbrake class, or anything else to that effect. Dave
