How can you see the other lane at night? Especially a fast black dragster running up on you? I guess there is a perceived advantage, from the other guy not being able to see you?

Which begs the question, what are the real rules and what are the feel-free-to-ignore rules?

For E.T. cars as long as it meets state requirements it is legal.

no crystal clear, pun intended. Further, I had a racer DQ'd many years ago and cited this rule.

OEM tinted glass/windows is allowed, aftermarket film/tint is not and which is also illegal in many states.
