Yes, you absolutely can.

But you cannot run under 11.50 there without a roll bar or under 10.00/over 135mph without a roll cage if that was your intention.

You could try it but that's A LONG WAY to travel for just one single pass.

From what I recall about your car, if you hit it with the big shot its up for debate as to whether they'll be more upset you don't have a cage or don't have a parachute...

They may turn you away at the gates.

Maybe you should just stay home. You will get tossed...

You wouldn't want to get tossed. It's not a pleasurable moment. Going passed 135, too fast in the 1/8 and below 11.50 catches their attention fast if you didn't tech for that.
