RICHMOND, CA (January 17, 2005) - The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) is pleased to announce the introduction of a new spec racing class featuring the Ford Focus. The class will be called Spec Focus (SF) and allows 2000-2006 model Ford Focus cars prepared for competition with parts from Ford Racing Performance Parts, Eibach, and F2Focus. The cars will also compete on spec Toyo Proxes RA-1 tires to promote an even playing field and enable racers in the class to accumulate rewards under the Toyo contingency program. Cars with SVT Zetec, Zetec, and Duratec engines are all eligible for the series as are all Focus body styles.

"We're thrilled to introduce another new spec class that will allow racers to build competitive, fun, and affordable cars to race," said Ted Severns, NASA Spec Focus National Director. "The Focus is a great starting point for a competition car and with the rules we have in place, this should be the next wave in spec classes for grassroots racing circles."

Rules for the class are available online at http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules.html and more contingency programs will be announced as they are added to the roster of benefits for Spec Focus racers.
