I don't think goggles would cut it. The manual definitely said
windshield.
I haven't seen a spec cobra, so I can't even guess, but I think I've
seen guys with Plexiglas "windshields" on their buggies. If you had a
full cage, you could fabricate a flat, removable sheet of something
clear (lexan?) and probably get away with it.
Remember, I'm not a lawyer, and haven't read all the motor vehicle regs,
but am just reporting on what the drivers' manual said and what I've
seen. There may be a requirement for at least some identifiable part of
the car to be from a street-legal automobile sold in this country, maybe
a vin plate, for instance.
I'll try to find out more and report back on this. Now my curiosity's
up a bit, too, and it would give me something to do while avoiding White
Knuckle Weekend at Talladega.
