NMRA Invades Houston, Texas In 2009
The NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals, the #1 all-Ford motorsport show, will invade Texas with the 1st Annual Nitto Tire Lone Star Shootout at Houston Raceway Park the weekend of Nov. 13-15, 2009. Texas, the leading Ford Mustang purchasing state, deserves an all-Ford race and show where all its Ford enthusiasts can participate.
This post-season NMRA event will feature special Pro Outlaw 10.5 and Super Street Outlaw match racing as well as special NMRA classes that allow for participation from all levels of blue oval performance. Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords and Tremec have teamed up to sponsor a special Lone Star Shootout class similar to the hugely popular Spring Break Shootout. Bring your true street Mustang out and race with upwards of 100 Muscle Mustangs readers on Saturday and have a chance to participate in the Lone Star Shootout on Sunday. This event will also feature a huge all-Ford auto show & shine, presented by Modified Mustangs & Fords and Mustang Monthly magazines, a giant manufacturers' midway and much more.
Special Turbonetics Pro Outlaw 10.5 and ProCharger Super Street Outlaw Match Racing!
If you think outlaw racing is the coolest thing on the planet (we agree by the way!) then you won't want to miss local Texas racer Mike Murillo duel down the quarter mile with the always-dangerous "New Mexico Outlaw" Dwayne James in a shootout of Turbonetics Pro Outlaw 10.5 Mustangs. Come see local hometown hero "Tricky" Richard Lelsz take on 3-time Super Street Outlaw champion, John "Fire Ball" Urist, in his Nitto-sponsored Mustang notch. This will be the "battle royal" of power adders with 2000+ hp Mustangs...all on 10.5 tires!
Lone Star True Street Shootout and Tremec True Street Classes presented by Muscle Mustangs
Do you have a bad-ass street-driven Mustang? Do you love True Street racing and enjoy reading about it in every issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords? If so, then you will want to bring out your Mustang or Ford and compete in the Tremec True Street Class at the NMRA Lone Star Shootout event. Race in True Street on Saturday, and if you are one of the sixteen fastest Mustangs you will be invited to race in the special Muscle Mustangs Lone Star Shootout class, presented by Tremec, on Sunday. This class will race heads-up with great prizes up for grabs. Any True Street racers who do not qualify for the Lone Star Shootout class will receive a free entry into Sunday's bracket race.
