    Went to the Sat. race,it was uncomfortably hot which I think caused the car count to be down.Between 2 & 3 o`clock they did not run a single car down the track because of the heat.But was still a good race w/ many nice cars including quite a few Mavericks & Falcons.In quick Ford there was a Mav that was the fastest car,5.11 at around 140mph,which is a 7 sec. car,very impressive.422 Motorsports was there w/ 6 cars,1 Thunderbolt,2Galaxies,a Marauder,1 Mustang & the Dearborn Thunder Falcon which they did not run,but all of them are 60s factory hot rods set up very similar to how they were back in the day.I wanted to go back for the Sunday race but just decided against it because of the heat & I have to start work at 3am on Monday.They also had a good car show w/ about 40 cars which had 3 nice Falcons in it.The Sunday race is Ford against the world where any make of car can compete,let Chevy,Chrysler & however wants to come to bring it on.Ford will be well represented w/ many nasty Fox bodys, & others that will more than hold their own.Don`t remember the mans name,but one of the Foxes has won the last 3 regular events in the top class at this trk,he will be tough to beat.
