Next big thing I want to do is the Texas mile,,its a one mile race, unfrotunately they just ran this past weekend so next one wont be for another couple months,
but I think the jag will be more in its element there.
As for convertibles ,the Jaguar comes with rollover protection built in,, so long as the body is not modified
you should have any problem running your car,, Alamo is an NHRA track and are pretty strict and had no problem with my car,
The Texas Mile wont let convertibles run without a roll bar but they will let ones with factory roll over protection run.
They tell you to print out your factory information on the system just in case someone asks.
You do have to run a full face helmet in a convertible as opposed to an open one in a coupe.
Not always enforced but they warned me this last time so I went ahead and ordered one, I also have an SFI jacket and SFI driving Gloves.
Have those for my faster cars but take them for whatever I run,better safe than sorry.
