About 10 years ago I was thinking about "what's next" with my race program and toyed with moving over to the FAST category.
I was going 9.80's at the time and felt like I had some room to "give away" some performance with a milder cam, exhaust manifolds and returning to the steel hood and bumper.
My car came with H70-15 Goodyear radials on an 8" Corvette rally wheel. With the long overhang at the rear I felt like I could probably be pretty competitive.
Sadly - I think I've missed my window of opportunity.
