Anyone else find it hard to read Fastrack these days? They just put a reference number, and no info about what they are talking about. Where do we find what the reference number is refering to?

I don't remember what my reference # for allowing the C4 Corvette into STU.

you should have gotten an email with your reference number in it.

Deleted the email months ago, and forgot the number. I just received a message with my reference #.

#12752 O2 Sensor Clarification
The STAC has reviewed this letter requesting clarification on the O2 sensor. In the committee’s opinion, the O2 sensor is not part of the exhaust system and is not free to be omitted from a replacement system.


Fine, but.... What about placement allowance? If we don't have leeway on placement then a whole messy monster just crept out from under the ST rock.

#12081 Intercooler Clarification
The answers to the member’s requests for clarification are as follows:
1. Is removing the valve’s exposure to boost a change to the valve?
Yes, removing the valve’s exposure to boost is a change to the valve.
2. If the competitor replaces the intercooler, the BOV must be mounted on the new intercooler such that it functions as it does on the stock intercooler.


Same problem as above. To what level of measurement or certainty. "Functions as it does on the stock". Wow, so many ways to read that one.

A 1970-76 Porsche 914 in emissions legal ST trim? These were not like the VW's. Even the 1970 had fuel injection. Not that it worked. The later models were better, but still.

More likely to find a sparkling unicorn eating a taco than a emissions legal 914.

We have at least one member who either currently has said Taco Munching Sparkling Unicorn, or who is willing to go on a personal trek seeking one.

If I recall correctly, the STAC didn't see it as the slightest threat to the class in appropriate trim.

I had one for 10 years. I absolutely loved it. It was screaming fast. I beat much more expensive overdog sports cars routinely in exploits for which hopefully the statute of limitations has run..... But there was nothing stock or emissions legal about my car.

And lucky me I can now race against it when the two destroyed by talk and rumor ST classes get combined.

Now wait Steve... the Dec Fastract only asked for member comments... but it is odd the two ref numbers in the Feb Fastrack about said combining, are referred to the aforementioned Dec. Fastrack asking for comments.

Seams a circular process where comments are referred to the proposal asking for comments... I guess comments aren't really wanted as the proposal is more a forgone conclusion.

Still have more comments that are FOR the merger... haven't heard much from people who are against it. I suggest instead of complaining on forums or facebook that you do so with a letter if you want the results you are looking for. :roll: ...Just sayin
