For the FAST teams, there is no membership or entry fees. Cars must run flat top wings with a maximum 2″ wickerbill. Cars must be on 4 corner Hoosier Tires. Any spec rear tires from 2022 or 2023 can be run. On the right rear, that includes the H15, Medium, or D15A. On the right rear, legal compounds are the H12 or D12A. You do not have to run the same right rear tire all night. We will have tires available at the track.
Drivers will draw into heat races, then hot lap in their heat race group. Time trials will be 2 cars at a time for 2 laps. Heat races will invert the 4 fastest cars with the heat winner and the fastest qualifier making the redraw. All drivers must have a working Raceceiver in anytime the car is under power on the race track. We will be using the yellow Westhold transponders.
The main event payoff is as follows: 3000, 1500, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 475, 450, 425, 400, 390, 380, 370, 360, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350.
