Additionally Requirements and specifications for Street Legal are the same as those for the Summit Racing Series with the following exception: Unaltered 2008 OEM model year and newer production cars running slower than 9.99 and 135 mph do not have to meet the requirements and specifications for the Summit Racing Series except for the following: Convertibles and T-tops must meet Summit Racing Series Roll Bar and Roll Cage requirements, All drivers must meet the Summit Racing Series Helmet and Protective Clothing requirements.”

Any mods = need cage. Not really that great of a deal now, is it?

edit: I highly doubt most of the tracks in TX will actually tech the cars severly enough to know whether it's factory stock or not.

The part that will get everyone on a technicality is the 'unaltered' part.

exactly, what a change they made.

Basically all youll get away with is a tune, and maybe a less restrictive air filter. Or milling of heads and such.

In the end, just put a cage in it, if your going to race it.
