Max, if they give you a class, and then the 2 club sets the minimum at 290, will you still want to race a nascar vehicle?
Yes, lots of people have "bought" their hat, lots have had their hat given to them by friends and family, but a lot of people have worked their way there a MPH at a time...
It doesn't matter to me if they make a class or not, but if you really want to race a nascar vehicle, and there a dozen like-minded folks out there, approach the USFRA to hold a nascar race during WOS. They are a great group of folks to work with.
