sandracer33 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I`m getting ready for my first HPDE and I`m a little concerned about the tint on my rear windows. I would prefer not to remove it, however it is so dark on the rear that I dont think the following driver will be able to see if I give a pass sign on the right. How should I deal with this? Thanks.

DaveWright Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You do not need to remove your tint. The way NASA is doing point byes is out the driver door for both sides. Point straight out for left side and point over the car to the right. However, always remain on the line. Never move off the line for the passing car. If anything, back off the throttle a little and allow the other car to complete the pass. I hope this helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninetyfourintegra Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Agree. I have dark tint on my windows (5%) and have not had an issue with point-bys. At the same time I can't say that I look in the rear window of the car in front for a point-by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renntag Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You should still be able to function in HPDE1. It is always best to have full view, how ever there are some cars that do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfast Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 As others have said, point-by's in HPDE should be big and visible out the drivers side window. The *only* acceptable signal through the center of the car is the "hi, I see you back there, I'll point you by next time we get to a safe place" wave. This is a nice one to give, but it's not required (unlike the point-left, point-right, and pit-in signals... big and visible out the window.)

sandracer33 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks guys. Makes me feel better. My main concern is safety, don`t want to cause anyone else any indigestion! I can see the tint going a lot lighter by the time I get to HPDE4. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
