Bristol Announces Fun Ford Weekend Race Classes and Event Details

The beautiful hills around Bristol’s Thunder Valley Dragway will be filled with the sounds of Ford power, June 29-30 as the Fun Ford Weekend rolls into town. This year will mark the return of the family-oriented “blue oval bash” to the scenic and fast track in NE Tennessee.

“Bristol is an incredible facility and I’m sure all the Ford faithful will agree,” said Jeff Lacina, Marketing Director for the Fun Ford Weekend Series. “There are some outstanding Ford-powered vehicles in that part of the country, both old and new, and we can’t wait to see them thundering down the track and on display in the car show at Bristol.”

Visit Bristol’s Thunder Valley Dragway website for more information.
