Mission Raceway hosts the 3rd annual Brown Brother's All Ford Mega weekend.

This specialty event at Mission Raceway is showing steady growth, even with the slack economy here on the west coast and everywhere else in N. America.

If you want to go to an event where you will see a lot of Mustangs this is the venue for sure. There were at least 100 different 'Stangs on the property, mostly recent vintage, but there were also many from the 60's and 70's as well. Gran Torino's, Ranchero's, Comets, Fairlane,s and everything in between. Oh ya, even a very nice GT was on the grounds.

The event had it all, a car show, a big party Saturday night including a dance with a bunch of Prism and Trooper band members

The Feature cars were the Mega pro class, which included Blown alcohol, Nitrous powered, and all motored combinations with one main theme..... they were all Fords.

 

Tim Nemeth in his Nitro Powered Nostalgia Mustang Funny Car was a real surprise feature car and he did not disapponst as he laid down to 6 teen passes at over 234 mph.

In the Mega Ford class, Keith Korecki was the quickest car with a couple 6.50 laps at over 215 mph. He was also the winner in the Mega Pro final, as he took out Howie Stevens in his brand new small block 2009 Mustang. Howie ran consistent mid sevens all weekend.

Glen May was out for the first time in a couple years in his Cranberry Connection Ford Ranger Pick-up and he was well on his way to a sub 6.40 lap (his second run), but unfortunately he had internal components exit the block at 1000 feet (Glen ran a 6.60 @ only 170 mph). He was done for the weekend.

Rash Dhaliwal ran easy 6.60's on Saturday in his small block Pro Charged Mustang (did not see his plaps on Sunday). He has had a few mechanical issues this year, after a couple seasons of consistent 6.6-6.7 laps. Based on the number this past weekend, I would say the Smooth racing team is well on its way to 6.50's and quicker ets.

Mike Dutchek ran mid 7's in his turbo charged Outlaw 10.5 Mustang, and will be a solid contender in that class down the road.
