Default Tinted windows allowed at the track?

Hey guys, I have a black CRX with no a/c and in the summer it gets real hot and i am thinking of getting tinted windows to keep some of the heat out. Thinking of just the rear hatch glass and the 2 side windws in the back, NO windshield and not the windows that roll up and down. I am planning to go pretty dark too.

Is this okay to use at the track or is it unsafe for any reason? I usually go to englishtown if it makes a differece. Thanks

The Focus had tinted windows and the only problem I remember was that Shawn said it was hard to see out of at night with his helmet on. Otherwise legal I would think!

Nhra rules says championship or head -up cars must have clear windows. You can go to NHRA web site and go to general rules and I think it is section 7:8
