1. There is no membership fee required to be eligible for F.A.S.T. Championship Series points. All Drivers who compete in any scheduled F.A.S.T. event will receive season championship points and be eligible for the point fund money.

2. Drivers who are eligible to receive point fund money at the end of the season must have a W-9 IRS tax form filled out and submitted to F.A.S.T. by the end of the season in order to receive any cash/prizes at the banquet. F.A.S.T. will provide W-9 forms from the IRS. Driver will be responsible for claiming point fund money as income as F.A.S.T. will file a 1099 with the IRS for each check written. If a Driver chooses to select another entity as the “payee” for their point fund check, that entity must fill out the W-9 form. Division of point fund money between Driver, Owner, or any other party will not be the responsibility of the F.A.S.T. series. One check will be written in the amount designated for the Driver’s finishing position in season points.

3. Points will be awarded to the Driver only. No Owner points will be kept. If a Driver changes rides for any reason during the season, the Driver maintains all points acquired up to that point. Driver and Owner shall have their own agreement of how F.A.S.T. point fund money and prizes will be divided. It will not be the responsibility of F.A.S.T. to determine the team structure and payment split. Point Fund money will be paid to the entity listed on the W-9 IRS tax form. (See rule #2 above)

4. Drivers must finish the event in the car that they started the night in. No “ride jumping” to another driver’s car, a team car, or a backup car will be allowed. No exceptions will be made. Driver will receive F.A.S.T. points for the event up until the time that another car is used to finish the event. Track rules allow the use of a backup car or borrowing a car to finish an event, but F.A.S.T. will only give points to the driver up until the point that the switch to another car is made in the course of an event.

5. If a driver transfers to the A-main as an alternate due to another car scratching from the event, that driver will not receive A-main points. F.A.S.T. points will be awarded to that driver up through the B-main event. Transferring to the A-main as an alternate allows the driver to accumulate track points and purse money, but no F.A.S.T. points will be awarded to alternate starters in the A-main event.

6. Complaints arising regarding the award of championship points or any other perceived rule discrepancy must be submitted in writing to F.A.S.T. within 10 days of the infraction. The FAST staff will review all written complaints in a fair and objective manner. We reserve the right to investigate any and all complaints as we deem necessary. The F.A.S.T. staff will make a decision and all parties involved will then be notified of the decision. All decisions will be considered final.

7. Teams MUST display (2) F.A.S.T. Series decals – one on each outward facing sideboard of the top wing - during F.A.S.T. events in order to receive points, cash, and prizes. Logo placement on the inside faces of the wing sideboards or other areas of the car not visible to photographers will not be considered acceptable.

8. Contingency award program decals will be distributed to each team for placement on the car. Teams must display decals to be eligible for the contingency award program. Any team wishing not to participate may notify the F.A.S.T. series when decals are handed out.

9. Points will be tabulated based on the official race results provided by the track scorers unless a driver changes rides during the course of an event or enters the A-main as an alternate (see Rules #4 and #5). Disputes with event finishing order should be addressed to the track officials and not to the F.A.S.T. staff.

10. Fifty (50) show up points will be awarded to all drivers who compete in any F.A.S.T. event once motors have been fired at the direction of a track official. No show up points will be awarded for rainouts or any other cancellation if motors have not been fired.

11. There will be NO double points for any F.A.S.T. events during double points nights at either track. Track championship points and F.A.S.T. points are to remain separate.

12. F.A.S.T. Rookie of the Year award winner shall be determined by the highest finishing driver who accumulates the most F.A.S.T. points during their first full year in a 410 sprint car while competing for the F.A.S.T. point title. Rookie eligibility will be determined by the rules of the two tracks.

13. All Top10 Drivers are required to attend the F.A.S.T. Championship awards banquet at the end of the season in order to receive cash awards and contingency prizes. Please make plans in advance to attend. Special consideration will be given to those Drivers providing notification to F.A.S.T. well in advance if there is a valid reason why they cannot attend the banquet. Drivers who do not attend the banquet and have not notified the F.A.S.T. series of any scheduling conflicts will forfeit their money and prizes to the following year’s F.A.S.T. point fund.

14. Situations may arise that are not precisely covered in these Rules. F.A.S.T. staff will make all interpretations of the rules included herein and those judgments will be final.
