It's back! Holley's Intergalactic Ford Festival, in conjunction with the NMRA World Finals championship race, is filling Beech Bend Raceway with Blue Oval power far and wide. The weather for this year's event is gorgeous, with cool mornings and evenings, warm afternoons and plenty of sun around, which will be great for fans who want to watch drag racers battle it out for the championship in their respective classes. During testing on Thursday, many drivers saw new personal bests, and we expect to see more as the weekend progresses. Add in the action of drifters like Vaughn Gittin, Jr and his Fun-Haver team hanging it out for everyone to see, off-road action to include not one, but two BIGFOOT monster trucks, including the original one that started it all, and much more! Add to that a massive manufacturer's midway, a fantastic swap meet, and a car show filled to the brim with polished-up rides, and we're expecting this year's Ford Festival and NMRA World Finals to be fantastic!

The new Ford Lightning is an EV pickup truck, but we are certainly partial to this tribute to the 1999-2004 Lightning we found in the show field!
Capri Corner made a return to Ford Fest! Whether it still rocked the 2.8L V6 or was built up with V8 power, we're happy to see these captive imports roll into the show!
Speaking of Capri, there were great examples of the Fox-Body Mustang's twin on the property, like this T-Top equipped 1982 Capri RS.
Special guests were invited to meet and greet in front of the Holley trailer prior to the start of Saturday morning's show. Among the many this year, we have Sleeperdude's turbocharged Thunderbird, Dylan McCool's Mustang II Cobra and Dodge Charger, Junkyard Digs' Coyote-swapped SN-95 Mustang, Hartwick Performance, Solomon Lunger with one of his many killer Ford truck combinations, and many more!
