All your Favorite Ford Racing Parts can be found here! Ford has a well known history of Drag Racing starting with "Dyno Don Nicholson" in his Ford Thunderbolt (a 1964 Ford Fairlane powered by a 427), Bob Tasca and "Gas" Ronda. Jack Christman developed the first Funny Car, a lightweight Comet with a supercharged, fuel-injected, SOHC nitro-burning 427. In 1966 this car became the AA/Fuel dragster with a fiberglass Comet body and with Christman, Don Nicholson and Ed Schartman driving, won almost everything in sight. Mustang took over as the drag racing car of choice in the last half of the 1960’s with Holman & Moody. Bob Gliden Dominated the Later Years of Ford Drag Racing.
Their Stock Car racing history goes back to the 1940 Ford being the "Tanker" of choice of the moon shiners for many years, many of who migrated their skills to the oval tracks of the south, which later became NASCAR. The early 60's saw Ford dominate the NASCAR scene with names like Holman & Moody, Junior Johnson and many more,
In 1962 Ford was nowhere in road racing. Ford had no
appropriate car but they had a new lightweight V8 engine.
Carroll Shelby
connected the AC Ace and the lightweight V8 and the AC Cobra was born. The
"Powered by Ford" Cobra was conquering the Corvettes and the Cobra was the
dominate car in the United States for the next five years. Cobra also won Ford
Motor Company’s first international sports car racing titles, including the GT
Class win in the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans by Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant and
the 1965 FIA Sports Car GT World Championship. This was the first international
racing championship ever won by an American team.
Today Ford still maintains a winning position on the racing circuits, but, thanks to the Mustang, is still the dominant force at the drag strip in the affordable non-factory megabuck classes. It is a car that can easily be modified into a class champion by a person with an average income.
