[07/14/2001] The largest FFW event of the year, Norwalk - Ohio, gets off to a running start

By: -

The biggest event in the Fun Ford Weekend series for 2001 is here! And so is the Mustang Works crew! Today racecars and staff arrived in Norwalk, Ohio for the big event and were greeted with pleasant weather unlike last year''s event. Heavy rain and wind marred the 2000 race at this facility. Not so this year however, the weather was so nice that many racers made multiple passes and kept coming back for more.

Friday is usually the day some of the Pro cars roll into the pits and hope to make a test pass. In the pits we spotted such racers as Chuck Samuel, Jim Summers, Brit Floyd, and Steve Grebeck. In addition, Jim Larocca had a two-car team of Street Renegade cars consisting of his car as well as Mike Freedman''s. Chip Haveman was busy wrenching on his car trying to solve a burnt piston problem. We also spotted defending 2000 Street Renegade champ Ed Thomas getting his pony back to together and should be good to go come race day. Steve Barton''s familiar Street Bandit entry was duly noted as well. Modular motored cars were also on hand including the MV Performance team with the Fox bodied entries as well as Paul Svinicki with the newer models. Meanwhile the Trophy Stock racers put up their big tent and congregated together as usual.

Besides the familiar racecar prep in the pits, there was also some racing going on. A bonus race for the bracket racers took place in the afternoon. In addition, some of the previously mentioned cars made some test passes some of which were lifting at the top end so as not to let the competition know the true potential of their race car. Who are they kidding? These cars will be flying the next two days as they battle it out on the hot asphalt and concrete. Mustang Works will bring you all the action!
