if your car rolls on its side do you want the chance of flying out or limbs hanging out the window?

Seems to me like you would want them rolled up to cut down on wind resistance. They claim safty I claim it streamlines you car for higher trap speeds.

I don't get it either. At my local track they let verts run with everything down but coupes have to have the windows up. There is a vert that runs at the track 1/8th mile he runs 7.0 and doesn't even have a top or windows on the car. He has a cage though.

Also roadsters and dragsters don't have windows.

.

Open bodied cars must use restrants, so they don't need nets or windows to keep your arms in.
