F.A.S.T. originally started in May 1995 after a number of officers and advisors from another Ford cylinder journal broke away to start this new organization. We started publishing our own newsletter in August, 1996. That newsletter has grown into a nice magazine, referred to as the F.A.S.T. Magazine. It is now published four times per year on a regular schedule and has won awards from both MARC and MAFCA. Our magazine has technical articles, event reports, letters from members, and a section for member's free ads. It also has information from vendors of equipment and services for our vehicles.

AUTO ART
My family lived in North Long Beach, CA, so you just KNOW I had a great first half of a childhood right in the middle of Custom Car Land. My first car show was in 1951 at the Pan Pacific Auditorium with my Dad. Larry Watson’s first shop was 3 1/2 blocks from our house.
RPM NATIONALS 2020 - Santa Margarita Ranch
It was touch and go there for a while. We all followed the RPM Nationals on Instagram waiting to hear if there was going to be a 2020 event? Then word came that they were going to have the event but were not sure if spectators were going to be allowed. So again we patiently waited to find out if it was going to be a racers-only event.
