You say "No factory race cars allowed" but why do the rules mention max wedge cars being allowed? A '67 RO/WO HEMI is just a modified street HEMI and from what I remember,originally built for stock class racing and not super/stock. Why shouldn't they be allowed too?




Well the RO/WO23, the A990 cars and Hemi A body Mopars, the ZL1 vette, the Thunderbolt, etc. were deemed to be factory race cars and ineligible for FAST. The ZL1 camaro was allowed in, even though lots of guys think it is a factory race car.

All of this stuff got worked out years ago with alot of brand rivalries, debating and compromises. There were threads on the Year One FAST message board that when on for page after page. Not everything makes perfect sense to everybody coming in later and analyzing it from the outside. But at this point we just accept what it is, and it is really cool and fun. The FAST rules were last revised in 2003, it is highly unlikely that there will be any changes in the future. The participants seem to be happy with them as that are.
