Default Drag racing with tint

On Saturday I will be taking my Z out to the drags for the first time. I am hopping to get in at least in the low 14's but who knows its my first time with RWD. Well any ways I just thought about it and could I still drag my car if I have limo tint all around (no windshield tint) Most likely all tracks have different rules but for the most part is there such a rule?
Thanks

No rules for tint around here.


As for your ET, I'm gonna guess your first time will net you a 14.76 @ 98.** mph.

If you can stay calm, and not let your nerves get the best of you, you might not miss a gear, and your trap speed will be a little higher.

Good luck, and let us know how you do!
