FAST Racing Series - 9sec 68 Nova

[Lynn]

I was wondering the same thing John. When the first post went up, I went straight to the rule book. Pretty restrictive rules. As impressive as it is to run almost 9 flat with a fairly stock L-88, the suspension requirements may make it even more impressive.

13.00 SUSPENSION

13.10 Rear Suspension:

13.11 Traction devices are limited to hop stop bars for upper control arms on coil spring cars.

13.12 Upper and lower control arms on coil spring cars must be correct*.

13.13 Pinion snubbers and clamping of leaf springs are allowed on leaf spring cars.

13.14 No slapper bars or ladder bars of any kind are allowed, unless originally equipped from the factory.

Factory documentation will be required to prove authenticity for any cars with bolt on traction devices.

No dealer installed traction devices allowed.

13.15 Aftermarket bushings OK.

Must be the correct* original color.

13.16 Shocks and springs must appear correct.

Aftermarket adjustable shocks are OK if painted to appear correct.

13.17 Air bags are not allowed.

13.20 Front Suspension:

13.21 The front sway bar is optional.

13.22 Aftermarket shocks, bushings and springs are OK, but must be painted to appear correct. No other aftermarket front suspension parts are allowed.

There are a lot of asterisks by the word "correct" and I could not find any reference below regarding the meaning of the asterisk.
