kevgentile Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 hello all, i am building a car to compete with nasa/gts and am in the process of removing the glass sunroof to install a lighter and safer alternative. nasa allows a non-metallic panel but i am contemplating whether or not i should go with a carbon fiber insert or rivet/bolt an aluminum skin instead. does nasa at some point plan on changing the rule on the type of material allowed? any objections and opinions on what is prefered or best used? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric W. Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 Do you plan to only race NASA? What kind of car is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eric W. Posted May 13, 2008 Members Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hrm. I think the only place you can race is NASA anyways, so no conflicts w/ BMWCCA, etc. If you run GTS I doubt there will be any issues with the type you replace with.

bmw22 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Just make sure it complies with the NASA CCR. While GTS rules all almost any modification, the car must first pass a NASA safety ytech according to NASA rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
