Inaugural Holley Intergalactic Ford Festival Set to Blast Off Sept. 26-29

From one end of the building to the other, Holley headquarters is filled with car guys, and a bunch of them are die-hard Ford lovers, including Video Media Production Specialist Ray Frescas, who owns a Fox Body Mustang GT500 and a Bronco. In this one-minute video, he gives you the lowdown on the ultimate Ford party, the inaugural Holley Intergalactic Ford Festival set for Sept. 26-29, in his own words.


It'll be right down the road from Holley's Bowling Green, Ky., headquarters at world-famous Beech Bend Raceway Park, and it will truly have something for every blue oval fan: autocross, a 3S (speed, stop, and steer) Challenge, drag racing, road course racing at the challenging 3.2-mile NCM Motorsports Park facility, a show-n-shine car show, a countryside cruise, an Australian-style burnout contest, a swap meet, free dyno pulls, vendor displays, and more. Participants can try their hand at every event, but the drag strip won't just be for everybody to have some straight-line fun. The big guys from the NMRA tour will be there all weekend, crowing season champions at the NMRA World Finals, the biggest, highest-paying all-Ford drag race event of the season, which will be run in conjunction with the Holley Intergalactic Ford Festival.


At the conclusion of the Ford Festival, a Grand Champion will be crowned, the best all-around driver on the basis of combined point totals from three different disciplines – autocross, the 3S Challenge and drag racing. And if you don't want to compete and just want to soak up the fun and killer cars and trucks all weekend, we have a special treat in store for you: stars from all around the motorsports and hot rodding universe will be in attendance, including YouTube sensation Cleetus McFarland, who'll have "Neighbor," his outrageous Crown Vic; Pro Formula Drift drivers Chelsea DeNofa Vaughn Gittin Jr.; and Bob Chandler's original Bigfoot.
