Ok guys, the 2014 FE Race & Reunion just keeps getting better and better. To help celebrate the 50th. Anniversary of the Thunderbolt, Beaver Bob from Beaver Springs Dragway, has come up with the following race within a race for qualifying!!! Who is going to step up and take home the money, trophy and one of a kind jacket!!!

"We'll have a 50th Anniversary Fastest Thunderbolt Record
Open to all FE Powered Thunderbolts. Both original and clones
Cars will run in a special time trials section only.
We will crown the 50th Anniversary Fastest Thunderbolt.
1st place - $200, Special edition FE Bird Plaque and Championship Jacket
2nd place - $100, Special edition FE Bird Plaque
3rd place - Special edition FE Bird Plaque

Not looking at any eliminations. Just 3 rounds heads up, side by side time trial to see who is the fastest. I think it'll add a lot to the show."

The December 2013 issue of Modified Mustangs & Fords magazine has 5 pages of coverage from the 2013 FE Race and Reunion. We even made the cover!!! The magazine is now available on newstands. Rod Short did a great job on the article and has included some awesome photos.

Doug Bender and myself are having a meeting with the Beaver Springs Dragway track owner, "Beaver Bob" McCardle tomorrow morning. This meeting is just to discuss the progress of he event as we move towards 4-27-13. My question to you guys is there anything you would like to see happen at this event? After all the event is for all of us FE guys and we want to make it something you guys enjoy!!

Just to recap this event is open to ALL FE powered vehicles. The entire facility will be devoted to nothing but FE powered vehicles. We won't be over run with 5.0 Mustangs!!!!

There will be a FREE car show for FE powered vehicles with trophies awarded. There will be three drag racing classes, Hot FE 0-12.99 and Street FE 13.00-and slower. We will also have a quick 8 dial in race for the 8 quickest FE powered vehicles determinded during time trials. There also will be tons of time for those who just want to make time shots without worrying about eliminations. Grudge races are very welcome!!! We are also working on a few match races involving some very cool and fast FE cars. The track prep will be on kill and "Beaver Bob" will be racing his own '63 427 Galaxie!!

Oh, yeah it's free to be a spectator too!! What other event does that???

Our own Barry R. and his Survival Motorsports have come on board with the title sponsorship of the event and will be there to discuss and show his new heads along with hopfully racing his own car.

There will also be numerous other vendors there with their FE related products.

BangShift.com will be there and covering the event for their awesome website too.

So to get back to my original question, is there anything you all would like us to discuss with "Beaver Bob" tomorrow? (within reason) LOL... No, we can't make Beaver Springs Dragway closer to your home.....

On April 27th, 2013 (4/27) we will hold the first annual "FE Race & Reunion" at Beaver Springs Dragway in Beaver Springs, PA. This is an event celebrating the Ford FE Big block. It's a low key, high fun event. Track owner Beaver Bob of Beaver Springs is giving us the track for the entire day. An IHRA 1/4 mile drag strip at our disposal. We will have racing, TNT and a car show/cruise. There will be 2 FE race classes. Hot FE 12.99 - under and Cool FE 13.00 and up, bracket style. Beaver Bob is supplying trophies to both classes. Racing fee will be $40. When not racing we'll be testing and tuning so if you don't want to competitively race you can just have fun and make passes at your own pace all day long. All FE powered show cars are admitted free and eligible for an award by Beaver Bob. All spectators are free as well. I am trying to set up some good match races from some top FE racers. What else could you ask for? A drag strip with only FE powered cars. Beaver Bob has told me, he's not worried about the numbers but I think it would be in our best interest to support a track that is willing to do this for us. For everyone involved we hope it pans out to be an annual affair. So if you ever wanted to see what your FE can do in the quarter mile head out to Beaver Springs Dragway for the "FE Race & Reunion" on April 27, 2013 10AM-4PM.

We have everything covered for a successful show but it would make it nicer if we had some door prizes or prizes for the class winners. Parts, apparel, books, etc... all would be great. So if you are a shop owner or FE vendor and want to get some recognition (i.e. advertising time) won't you consider sponsoring some items or donating them?

The event flyer is at http://www.fairlanet.com/fe mark your calendars as we hope to see many of you FE aficionado's head North to Beaver Springs Dragway. We're 5 months away and will keep you all posted and reminders will be often. You may see posts on other sites as well and don't forget to tell your FE friends.

I hope I covered it all. If you have any questions you can email Doug or me (see flyer).
