2008 Points program
Current Points Standings
F.A.S.T. is pleased to offer a racer points program starting in the 2008 season. The points will add another dimension to the F.A.S.T. class. Points will be awarded at all National events and select Regional events. The Second Quick-8 format is only run at select Regional events, and is not run at National events. National F.A.S.T. events bring out the best of the best, to recognize this, there is a points premium awarded at National events. A lot of planning went into this program and as the season progresses, we hope to see what works well and what may need some tweaking. The 2008 Points program will be the testbed for possible future points programs and is subject for complete review next year.
Special thanks to Lane Carey and Ralph Barbagallo for submitting to the F.A.S.T. board the analysis and draft of the points program. Their dedicated work is very appreciated!
