NMRA is officially coming to Texas!!

ProMedia and Houston Raceway Park are happy to announce the return of All Ford Drag Racing to Texas the weekend of November 13-15, at Houston Raceway Park. The Inaugural Lone Star Shootout will help fill the void for Ford Drag Racing enthusiasts who have yet to see an all-Ford event this year in the Lone Star State.

The Angel family, owners of Houston Raceway Park, and officials of the NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals Series recently agreed to host this special post-season exhibition race, bringing Ford drag racing back to a hotbed for heads-up doorslammer action.

Charlie Harmon, President/Executive Director of the NMRA said, "It became obvious that there was a tremendous void in the Ford marketplace for this region of the country. We are very proud to be in a position in these times of economic hardship to expand and do our part to fill that void for all of the Ford enthusiasts in this region. However, this could not have been possible without the support and cooperation of the Angel family, who also recognized the need to continue to offer a first class Ford event to all of the loyal enthusiast and supporters in the area."

Evan Smith, editor of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine, hopes the Lone Star Shootout will become a sister event of the Spring Break Shootout held each year in Bradenton, Florida which draws top Ford and Mustang street cars from all over the eastern United States. “We are aware that there are many others in the western region of the U.S. that are unable to make the long haul to Florida due to the distance. We are very excited about the opportunity to feature a class that is accessible to a new and amazing group of vehicles in a different part of the country,” Smith stated.
