Default Standing 1.5 Mile Speed Event – In New England?

If the Mod's don't mind, figured I would cross post this here, where the racers hang out

A standing 1.5 mile speed event at the Loring Air Force Base, in upper state Maine (Limestone).

Quote from the site:
The LTA was conceived by Bob Wanner and Bob Jepson,
Two LSR devotees from the North-East who desired a place to run their cars
A little more convenient to their homes.
Our Inaugural event will be held:
July 31 through August 2nd, 2009

The Roll Bar rules would be trouble for most of us with street cars, but drag racers, and track guy’s might be OK.

III-2 ROLL BAR & ROLL CAGE: All cars in competition over 1 3 5 MPH, must be equipped with a roll bar or roll cage structure. All closed cars between 1 3 5 and 150 MPH must have a 4 point roll bar. All closed cars between 150 and 175 MPH must have a 6 - point roll bar. All closed cars over 175 MPH must have a full roll cage. All open cars are advanced one bar / cage category over closed cars. Any individual wishing to enter a vehicle which deviates from these rules MUST contact the ECTA 45 days before the event for approval.
