The truth is, I don't have a good guideline as to what's allowable, and what's dangerous as far as windshield cracks. I was planning on tagging along with the tech inspectors as this weekend's autocross and picking their brains.

The best I can tell you: come to a meet. Matt and I will be able to check out your car and let you know if we'd pass or fail the crack or chip. Chances are, if the crack isn't in the line of sight for the driver, and doesn't compromise the integrity of the windshield, it will pass.
I will try to make the meet next week or the week after so you can check it out. Due to how pitted my windshield is, I will probably get it replaced sometime soon; I just don't know if it will be before the meet.

Thanks
