In your area, 1973-1974.
Western PA cars dropped them a few years earlier (along with front ends, grilles, etc.) as I recall.

They were a pain and a great way to get cut when you tried to clean them.

The problem I rember is the tracks crews cleaning the glass and chrome plastic parts off of the track and getting cut. I lot of flat tires after the windshilds came out of the cars.

I'd never seen a dirt race car of any description with a windshield till I came to PA and caught up on some history here. Still reckon they look just plain weird. May as well leave the 8 track and heater in.

well dingo, you my be correct about the heater ...... 1st night I ever raced was late in the fall at sharon speedway on the 1/4 mile in 1967. while sitting in line my windshield fogged up. it may have been from the rumpity rump from the 6 cyl. or from me breathing drive- in style. It went away. 1967 may have been 4 tracks.

I rember starting a car tire fire to keep warm while the races were running and the snowflakes were flyin. Dingo does it get cold enough in the land down under for that. I am an old one to rember them days.
