Of the many tracks we visit each year, Englishtown Raceway Park (RP) is considered our home.

For 2010, we headed north to RP for a fun weekend of Ford action, which included a hot car show, real street road tour and strip competition, along with other assorted drag racing madness.
The event kicked off on Friday night, August 6, with a Ford-and-Mustang-versus-The-World showdown. Rob Bizzaro of Holbrook, New York, earned the event win with his '88 Mustang. On Saturday, Michael Mohring led the Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Real Street Road Tour with the quickest average e.t. (10.426) without ever opening his hood after participating in the local town cruise.
