Default Old vs new 1/4 @ fordfest

I see that they are having old vs new 1/4 mile racing at fordfest 11:00-12:00 and 15:00-16:00

Will anyone here be participating in this? I was planning to run the focus up the strip on the day so may have a go against some newer stuff don't know what times I'll do, running around 330+ bhp focus rs

Its a 1990 cut off so you'll be in the new lane.

Wow my 1998 car has been branded new....Normally labeled and old stinker haha. I could be tempted to have a blast there. Be a good test for my new shafts after snapping the previous ones.

So a 25 year old car is in the new lane? the cut off should be much newer, as said, 2000 on would be better.

1990 cut off makes sense as that's the classic Ford cut off. And seemly why they made this show for all l fords.

ill bet even 93 plate sapphires will be in the old category as per classic Ford show.


If the weathers good and it ain't too busy. I plan on running as got the whole of winter to fix it!
