Letters to Fastrack
C-Spec Please Find a True 225/45/17 Tire to Spec for C-Spec
#36085 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2024-07 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. While C-Spec will likely have a spec tire at some point in the future, the committee will not
be specifying a tire for a regional class that has just begun its development.
While the Hoosier 225/45/17 is certainly wide for its stated size, there are examples of the first generation Mazda 3
racing in T4 with 245 Hoosiers at all four corners. Further, specifying the Toyo RR for the class would not be a wise
due to the fact that this tire is going to be phased out and replaced by Toyo at the end of this year.
Many of these vehicles came from the factory with optional 17-inch wheels. The reason that this diameter was
selected was because while some cars use a 4x100 bolt pattern, many of them utilize a 5x114 or similar bolt pattern.
Competition-grade 15-inch wheels are difficult to find in this bolt pattern, and 16-inch race tires are not commonly

available. The committee was also informed that there was a Mazda 3 that recently ran at Palmer in C-Spec trim with
the specified tires and had no clearance issues.

"Suspension: B-SPEC competitors may use the OEM suspension, the specific suspension kit approved on the spec line or any B14
Bilstein shock or strut with no modifications except as required for mounting or to achieve allowed camber. C-Spec competitors

#32074 from Mike Ogren · No action required · Minutes (2022-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Camber can be adjusted by using offset bushings. The toe links are allowed solely for toe
adjustment. If you want a specific camber arm, they are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please provide a part number.
T2/T3/T4 Reconsider the adjustable shock rule
#32049 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-04 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The committee does not wish to allow the Koni on the Mazda 3. There are other available off-the-
shelf options for the Mazda 3 at this time.
EP/FP/HP Please Measure Valve Lift as Raced.
#32009 from Mike Ogren · Taken care of · Minutes (2022-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. A response was made to this consideration in the October 2021 Fastrack, via #31071, and there has
been no additional reasoning to reconsider.
T4 Please list the 2004-2009 Mazda 3 , 2.0
#32008 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The committee strongly suggests either running the 2.3 liter engine or maybe consider one of the IT.
HP Toyota 1.6 Twin Carb Spec Line Change
#31925 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-02 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. This change is not recommended. Building to the currently specified compression ratio is the
responsibility of the engine builder, and it is believed that the car will be competitive as classified, once that is accomplished.
HP VW Golf/Jetta MK3 into HP
#31798 from Mike Ogren · No action required · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)

Idle Air Bypass Motor Oversite
#31796 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-04 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. You are correct that there are cars where all air does not enter the engine through the carburetor or
throttle body, in classes/categories where this is an issue it will be referenced in the specific rule set and not though a global
rule.
EP/FP/HP 100 Tread Wear Weight Allowance.
#31542 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter, but this is not recommended. Trying to balance the potential of different tires through weight breaks
would be a difficult and unrealistic exercise, with constantly moving targets. It would also create an even bigger disparity in how
different cars achieve their lap times. Competitors are free to use whatever tires they'd like, but their competitiveness cannot
be guaranteed.
Please Update The Rain Light to Include the Flashing Red for All
#31125 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-10 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Allowing strobing rain lights in non-Formula or Sports Racing classes could cause confusion with
required brake lights in those classes.

#30525 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-06 Fastrack)

needs to be provided and analyzed, including more on-track competition against other known classifications.

available.

HP Request to classify 1973 VW Super beetle to HP
#28759 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2019-05 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The VW Beetle never came from the factory with the 1835cc engine.
HP Request to move the MR2 to FP
#28229 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2020-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter, but this request is not recommended at this time. No new knowledge has
been presented to make performance potential expectations any different than originally believed. This
classification has also not been campaigned enough to gather sufficient real world data, nor has it been
campaigned at the highest levels and subject to thorough technical checks and investigation.
HP Request to measure Toyota push rod 2TC engine cam lift as raced
#28228 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2020-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. This request is not recommended at this time. Factory valve clearances cannot
be taken into account for every classification, nor is it believed that variances of this spec from car to car
will have any effect on performance potential or class balance.
Please Amend the 2020 Runoffs Requirements.
#27976 from Mike Ogren · No action required · Minutes (2019-05 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Runoffs qualification requirements are reviewed annually and your
suggestion will be reviewed and considered.
HP Please Move the 2015+ Honda Fit to FP
#27855 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2020-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. This is not recommended at this time. There has not been a fully campaigned
example of this car ran yet to provide additional data. Also note that the stock specs of its engine are
very close to those allowed on its spec line.
HP Please Allow Alternate Rear Axle Housing for RWD Toyota Corolla
#27854 from Mike Ogren · Rule change · TB 20-01 (2020-01 Fastrack)
In HP, Toyota Corolla (71-74), add to notes as follows:
"Rear axle housing from the 84-87 Corolla is permitted."
HP Please Allow Alternate Rear Axle Housing for RWD Toyota Corolla
#27410 from Mike Ogren · Not recommended · Minutes (2019-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Not recommended as written. To be considered, valid reasoning
and supporting evidence would need to be presented as to why the original OEM stock piece is
unavailable and/or impossible to find, or is inadequate for racing purposes. Recommended alternate
components would need to be presented, and why it/they would solve these problems.
