I realize it's a Ford event, but we're all video and picture junkies. Enjoy.

Spending a week at World Ford Challenge 9 has been a blast. A few of us from Stenod Performance went down to the race with the crew from Walsh Motorsports and spent a ton of time over the last several days racing, hanging out with friends, making a few new ones and certainly eating well.

We spent a lot of time during the race touring the pits and checking out some of the baddest Ford race cars ever built. From IHRA Pro Stocks to some of the fastest drag radial cars in the country the World Ford Challenge 9 had it all. It wouldn't be fair to everyone to have an event and not be able to see what it's like. We've packed our photo album with over 500 photos of the event. We also did a little video taping during test and tune, qualifying and eliminations for at least Pro Mod 5.0 and Super Street Outlaw. We also managed to get in a few shots of the cars in Street Outlaw and Drag Radial when the timing worked out well. You might find it to be the most comprehensive coverage found in any racing event.

There were a lot of cars at the race that were absolutely amazing to see up close. By far the most amazing car (personally speaking here ) was Robert Patrick's stunning Jerry Haas built 06 Shelby GT500 Pro Stock. The car was absolutely amazing to see in person and will be a real head turner when it makes runs in the IHRA later this summer. For a car that was essentially built from a finished chassis to a running race car starting on Monday, they made an outstanding showing at the World Ford Challenge. If you can't tell from these photos, it's incredibly photogenic. I have video of the car in the pits that I'll try to get up later this week.

 

Thanks for the wrap up!!

 

All the links are dead for me Steve.

 

Dan, they should all be working. I've had some intermittent issues with things going up and down, I don't know if it's download / bandwidth related or not. Something I have to check in on.

 

Ah ha...they work now. Thanks Derty.

 

Robert Patricks car is just pure awesome
