I would love to tow my race car to Beaver Springs Pennsylvania in late April, but considering its about a 50 hour drive each way, and my truck gets about 9 MPG towing, it looks like I will be flying in as only a spectator. Anybody here going? I am considering either flying into Pittsburgh, or maybe Detroit, as I would like to tour the Ford Rouge plant and Henry Ford museum.Any thoughts or suggestions for other day trips? I plan to be in the area for at least a week or so. I really want to see the 8 second FE powered 58 Custom 300 of Randy Spohn.
I've visited 'The Ford' several times as well as the Rouge tour (Rouge tour leaves from The Ford so make a day of it). You might also find the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant tour of interest.
I will be there racing my 66 Fairlane. I'm actually one of the creators of the event. I had a dream of an all FE event and went to "Beaver Bob" McCardle who owns the track and it exploded from there. I encourage anyone with a FE powered vehicle to attend. I promise you will love it!! It is much more than a race or a show, it is a true reunion of folks who love these great engines!
