Default Anti fog on windshield at dragstrip?

For you guys that have removed all of your hvac, how do you deal with foggy windshields? I want to remove mine but I’m worried about my windshield digging up at the dragstrip.

Well, technically you're not supposed to run the A/C on a car you're racing because of the water it puts on the track so it's a moot point. The defrost uses the A/C.

I have never had a foggy window at the track, but if it's that humid, I think you should also be worried about dew on the track.

I live in a humid area but I decided to just nut up and pull the whole hvac out. They have anti fog spray if it’s an issue.

I have used rain X anti fog stuff you buff onto the inside of the glass. it works okay but its never perfect. I keep a micro fiber towel behind the seat if I race at night and the windows are fogging up. Great lakes dragway is really bad at night, I think the corn field has something to do with the moisture in the air. I've had my guys wipe the glass after my burnout while I'm strapped in then I pull to the line. Its quite annoying.
