Read the rule (unfortunately the rules can be hard to figure out). This rule is for FACTORY STOCK -UNALTERED - vehicles only. If you change tires, rims, air cleaner box, MAS, or anything else, you do NOT qualify.

Only a few FACTORY cars actually run that fast without modifications. Most of the times they are limited production cars and not likely used for regular bracket racing.

While I personally do not agree with the change, I seriously doubt it will affect many cars/tracks.

The guys that have those kind of new cars are far better off at the track - even without the rollbars or cages - than they are trying to "play" anywhere on the street.

Yes, I agree that they probably don't offer the level of protection they would with the safety equipment we have to run, but at least now they will have a better place to "play" without being forced to install the equipment or risking other people's lives on the street. Because we all know that if they can't run them at the track - they'll find SOMEPLACE to play with them.
