Virginia Motorsports Park Fun Ford Weekend Wrap Up
Virginia Motorsports Park hosted another fantastic Fun Ford Weekend, with a top-notch car show where Ford fans could get up close to see a 2006 Ford GT or a 1948 Anglia and everything in between from a classic 1970 BOSS 302 and the new generation 2012 BOSS 302. Racers lined up in the staging lanes to compete in the Fastest and Quickest Ford classes as well as the DOT racers who also took part in the VMP Superchargers True Street Shootout. DOT trucks even joined in on the racing action in the DOT Tuff Truck class and DOT legal cars with a 5.0L displacement (and one only one power-adder) were able to compete in the MustangGuys.com Fastest 5.0 Shootout, with winner Travis LaRoque taking home his share of hardware and payouts as Number 1 in the Fastest 5.0 Shootout, 11:00 Index, 13:00 Index and Bracket 1 Fast Ford Aeromotive Eliminator having the “best package” of best reaction time and closest to his dial-in for round 1. If Fun Ford Weekend had a King of the Hill award, LaRoque’s performance would sealed the win early on as he competed against several Fun Ford Weekend veterans like last year’s VMP Fast Ford and this year’s 12:00 Index Winner Tom Conrad Jr. and 12:00 Index competitor and Runner Up, Will McKay who also took the top spot for Fast Ford this year.
With another Fun Ford Weekend in Virginia Motorsports Park’s books, we’re already looking forward to next year.
