2006 Fun Ford Weekend In Commerce Georgia

This year the FFW officials opened up the Focus Frenzy class to all four- and six-cylinder-powered Ford vehicles, and named it the Four-Six Frenzy. Kyle Drennan (near lane) lost to Tonya McCoyle and her Focus (far lane), which had run 17.64 at 77.73 mph. Drennan broke out with a 16.89 on his 16.95 index.

Winner
Two 9-second runs and a 10.07 equaled a 10.004 average and the winning trophy in the True Street category. Edgar Negron's '86 Stang has a 364ci engine based in a R302 block. It sports big compression, fully ported Twisted Wedge heads, a Vic Jr. intake, a Pro Systems carb, and a 225hp shot in the NOS plate. A C4 backs this beast, and the car rolls on Hoosier Quick Time Pros.

SN-95 Cobras are cool, especially ones that run mid-10s after a 30-mile True Street cruise. But wait--this is no SVT product. It's a V-6. Matthew Neuharth of Delk Performance put on quite a show, though he got progressively slower with his Cobra clone, and ended up with a 10.93 average. His best run in the turbo'd 4.2-liter demon was a 10.24, and his second hit was a 10.43, but he slowed to a 12.13 in Round 3.

A little shot of nitrous on top of the 302 H.O. engine helped Chris Whitaker run an 11.23 average in True Street competition.

Winner
Matt Jones (far lane) and DR Bott II (near lane) made up the Street Bandit field. They both are packing big-inch Windsors from Kuntz and Company. Jones runs a "smaller" engine at 440 ci, while Bott just installed a behemoth 468ci mill. Jones battled the stomach flu all weekend, but still ran 8.76 for the victory.

S.D. Wheeler (far lane) grabbed his second straight Ultra Stang victory with his bone-stock, mid-15-second '05 V-6 Mustang. He beat P.J. Justus (near lane) in the finals.

This '05 Mustang GT features a stock five-speed automatic transmission, a virtually stock engine (basic bolt-ons), and a ProCharger blower. That combination was good for runs in the 10.90s.

Winner
Mark Anderson won the Street Stang category, which has a 12.50 index.

Darrell Lucas was runner-up in the Street Stang category with his four-eyed Fox-body. Lucas ran too quickly in the finals with a 12.49 performance. He was on the brakes but just edged past the index by one hundredth of a second.
