Still sticking with this chassis, or moving on to something else? Or waiting for the full set of revised NASA rules to come out and determine what is competitive to build based on budget?

NASA TT3 is the same next year. NASA Eastern States Championship is at Sebring next year, and I plan to be there in an S2000.

Been through 4 windshields. I was about put the clear film on but i figured $200 is really not that much to just replace it if and when it gets cracked.

I just replaced my first one after 2 years of tracking the s2000. do the gaskets around the top corners seem to have gaps on your cars since you had them replaced? mine has gaps--not sure if that is normal. $230- safe-lite.

My windshield gets damaged a lot more on the highway than it does on the track. Downside of living in the desert I guess. At my current rate, I will be going through a windshield every 1-2 years. Current one has 8 months on it (16k mikes and 3 track events) and is already in rough shape.

Man, that sucks. You had a nice build. Apparently you weren't the only S2K casualty that weekend. I'm glad you made it out ok.

I thought i was the only one with this problem. 5th one in 3 years, it would be more but I eventually got used to it. The longest I've had one last is 6 months, the fastest was 2 weeks. None from rockchips all from stress cracks. Is it chassis flex? I saw one growing about an inch a lap as I'd hit this one particular curb every lap.
