2008 GENERAL RULES
FORWARD
The Official Rules and Race Procedures contained herein are designed primarily for the benefit of Drivers and Car Owners. They were compiled, after careful consideration, by a group of persons who have many years of experience as Drivers, Car Owners and Promoters of race events.
It is the intent of the FASCAR Officials to enforce these rules impartially and consistently so that each individual has an equal opportunity to compete with all other cars in his/her class. No set of rules was ever written which could not be criticized in some way, or misinterpreted.
It is requested that any individual who feels that a given rule should be clarified, bring it to the attention of one of the FASCAR Officials for interpretation. In this way, each driver can understand the intent of all of the rules before a problem arises. In any case, interpretation of rules by FASCAR Officials will be considered final.
We wish for every participant in the sport of racing to find it enjoyable and rewarding and we will endeavor, with your cooperation, to make it so.
Sincerely,
TEAM FASCAR TOUR OFFICIALS
