Got this in email today regarding the Texas Mile which is a standing mile event. Your opinions?

"The role cage rule has been modified. Certain years
of a few makes and models of production vehicles will
be allowed to run with a 4 point roll hoop and other
safety gear. SPECIFICS to these rules can be found on
TexasMile.com by Thursday, March 8, 2007.

An additional acknowledgement/ responsibility/ waiver of
liability will be required for all participants to
sign. Furthermore, driver's must submit for approval
in advance of the event to compete under these new
rules.

SPECIFICS can be found under WILD WEST STREET CAR
SHOOT OUT on the TexasMile.com web site by Thursday,
March 8, 2007.

You have been asking for us to reconsider this rule
for the newer production cars that are built from
the factory and advertised by the manufacturers for
higher speeds. In addition, there have been magazines
that have done their own shoot-outs that are allowing
for the higher speeds. We have been listening.

NOTE: Anyone who exceeds 190 mph without meeting all
the requirements that will be posted on the web
site, will no longer be allowed to run that weekend.

CALL us for further information and for final
approval if you plan on exceeding speeds of 190 mph."
