32nd Annual NMRA Ford Expo Brings the Best in Blue Oval Performance to Columbus, Ohio

The 32nd Annual NMRA Ford Expo, held over Labor Day weekend at National Trail Raceway, is always one of the most exciting stops on the NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford Nationals series tour. At the second-to-last race, with points battles almost at critical mass, NMRA racers had the wick turned up giving the track all it can take, and then some. And in addition to our usual racers, there was also vintage Blue Oval cars making their way down the track in the Y-Block Shootout, ‘57 Ford Gathering & Shootout and special vintage bracket classes. For the fans of both old and new, this was the NMRA event of the year.

Race & Performance Expo

A BRIEF HISTORY:

Started in 2008, The Race & Performance Expo was a huge success from the beginning. Drawing from across the country, our 2nd Annual Race & Performance Expo saw growth in the number of manufacturers, vendors, and general public that attended. With over 275 booths showing a vast array of the newest high performance racing components, this event has become the largest High Performance Expo of its kind in the Midwest.  Many of the manufacturers stated that this show allows them to “get back to the grassroots of racing”.  “The Race & Performance Expo has filled a need in the Midwest with this type of show.  A show that offers not only the Racing Industry members such as the engine and chassis builders, manufacturers, and vendors of Racing and High Performance components to talk face to face, but for the general racing fan that wants to be part of this exciting Industry”. Always trying to improve the Expo, the 2010 show will have a separate room which will focus on Street Rod / Muscle Cars, along with street rod and muscle car retail vendors.   …copy pulled from raceperofmanceexpo.com
