Hi, I found this site through focasfanatics.com Im from Princeton MN, I have a 2001 Focus ZX3 "hornet" race car. Its basically a fully gutted and stripped car, add a 8 point roll cage, racing seat, and a 5 point harness. I plan on racing at the Princeton Speedway (dirt), Ogilvie Raceway (dirt), and Elko Speedway (tar) Two weeks ago was the first time i have ever been on a race track, it was practice, then last Friday was the first time i ever tried racing, the second lap i ended up rolling over.

Yes, but my car doesnt have any windows, i have a windshield that i can duct tape on if i had too.


Do they require windows if i have a simpson racing helmet, and the cage, seat, window net, and harness?

you'd need a window net. there's another guy that used a honda hornet car last year. idk if you could just use plexi, but if you just had the driver glass it would work i suppose. if you register over at mnsubaru.com and PMed ScubaSteve or Mayhem83 they'd be able to answer those Qs for sure

the windshield has 3 bars welded over it, the drivers side window has a window net. I would love to try it, can you pm one of them for me?
