new NHRA altered wing mount rule

[32bantam]

OK Bruce....I must be missing something here......
on NHRA racer.com
2014 Rule book sec20, body7.1 lists the new regs. (6" struts only)
2014 to 2015 amendments lists nothing  pg31
2014 general regs. 12/11/2013 to 1/10/2014 lists the same paragraph as 2014 rule book (6 struts only).
So what exactly is NHRA telling us?
I don't have any issues here because I already remounted mine to fit the new rule. But I do have other racers asking me about this issue and I want to make sure of the facts.   
Thanks,
Steve
ps I think Mike thinks the rule is 6" struts because he is taking his wing off.

2014 rule book amendments
page 25  paragraph in blue

Beginning January 1, 2015: For all open wheel/body cars where rear wings are permitted the wing may be fully mounted to the roll cage or frame structure only via plates and/or short brackets; maximum 6-inches center-to-center between the upper (wing tab) and lower (roll cage tab) bolts. Tube type or extended wing stands are prohibited when mounting wings to any components of the driver’s compartment of any SFI specification roll cage.

I had a chassis guy tell me that he is leaving his wing and adding this

I asked Blackwell about shrouds, His explination was that some tracks did not have the equipment (the Safety Safari has) to remove the cage with the shrouding attached, and that could lead to a liability issue  if it ever came into play.  If the racer wasnt so lawsuit happy, you would not hear from the NHRA at all and the rule book would be about 15 pages

hows that supposed to lever the car...the wing would have to be as big as my dinning room table for it to work the same as the one on car now

Its going to force a lot of guys to rework their cars. 

There are cars out there hauling the mail without wings.

I do feel bad for people having to deal with this. Having said that, there is another acceptable method which is proven to work well in to the low 6's at over 240 MPH:

That's funny right there.
