Nice race!! Double the purse and less entry than a div points race that includes a bonus race on Sunday using the same shoe polish. Every Ford on the right coast should be there.

Yes Charlie, the payout looks good, the entry fee is very reasonable ( compared to the other racer entry fees) and it is an all Ford event so there is a wide assortment of Ford powered machines on the grounds.

I have been going to their World Finals @ Bowling Green for the past 15 years and it is my favorite event of the year. ( it is also their largest event)

I was the only class racer there last October running in Open Comp.
I didn't see any other class racer there running brackets, but there may have been.

I cannot make the M.G. event, but for sure I will be at Bowling Green.

I have been to a few of their events (yes-race a chevy but have worked at Ford Dealers 40 yrs) with employees race cars and can highly recommend them. You will be well treated and will find it a well run event. Will be a fun weekend. Go show 'em some class cars!

Do they tech a race like that? I suppose everyone dials, even heads-up?

Not sure about heads-up deals.

Probably like a lot of combo races and based on the honor system.

Vic, I took a look back at the Friday qualifying sheets from Virginia in 2015. I counted 11 Fords; I have no idea how large the overall population is, but events like the Ford Motorsport Nationals have been known to attract cars that would not enter a LODRS or NHRA National event - for a variety of reasons. Tough not to run into a conflicting date when trying to schedule these deals. I will put it on my possible list - almost 30 years since my last one at the Grove.
