Provided it is still intact and running , I plan to trailer my 428 CJ, 4 speed powered  59 Ford 2 door sedan to the FE Race and REunion this year. I have attended twice as a spectator, (2018 and 2022), and hoped to race the 59 last year, but hurt a rod bearing in the 428 a couple of weeks prior, so flew down, but hopefully, this year, will drive 1200 miles each way to be part of the event. I may leave a week early, and drive to Indianapolis to attend the NHRA US Nationals, and them double back to Beaver Springs for the race.

Joe, Looks like I'll only get there on Saturday. We have an outage/installation all week at work. It should wrap up by Friday 2PM if all goes well.

If you want a vintage FERR hat like Beaver Bob used to have? Bob has some available of his own deal, not the track store.

Merch has been slim the past few years. Hopefully this year's turnout will be better than last. Seemed like attendance was down.

Current track owner prints his own shirts and hats. He makes a few batches and if they sell out, he goes to the garage to print more.

My only comment, the quality doesn't represent the show.

The average age of a person that owns a FE, is probably around 70. Attendance will not be sky rocketing.

Last year a local high school senior "hooked" school to attend on Friday. He had a '76 F100 w/360. That is encouraging :-)

I was at every one but the first and it's been a nice crowd at them all. It's a great event that is run right.
