2004 was the inaugural year of the Fest Pace car. In order to assist with the ever growing cost of fest operations. The Fest Pace car was sold in pairs PRE Fest on hobbytalk.com.

Proceeds from the sales of these special Fest Cars (Halloween, Pace Car, Holiday) are what is used for the following year's Fest (Lightning Fest 2004 for this group) to pay for all the free stuff going on - it helps support the Hospitality Room, the Diecast Customs Show, the Downhill Racing and PSR's, helps underwrite the Dinner and Dinner Cars, etc.

Note: Because this car is not numbered, there is no numbers in the registry. However, ownership can still be registered.
