Ford Festival Hosted by Holley Is Coming to Kentucky, Sept. 26-29
Holley’s Ford Fest is far more than a car show, as it features autocross, drag racing, drifting, a swap meet and a whole lot more!
Holley is celebrating anything and everything powered by a Ford engine this September in Bowling Green, Kentucky at Beech Bend Raceway with Ford Fest. In a similar format to their renowned LS Fest, this event provides far more than just some beautiful cars to look at. This is a big interactive festival with something for everyone, and if you’re a Ford fan, you won’t want to miss it! The list of activities and guests is extensive, and it is sure to be a good time.
Team RTR drivers Chelsea DeNofa and Vaughn Gittin Jr. will be present with their 1,000 horsepower big block drift cars. Also in attendance will be iconic YouTuber Cleetus McFarland and his supercharged Crown Vic dubbed “Neighbor.”
Also present will be Bigfoot, the original monster truck. Powered by it’s Ford 460, this is the truck that started the Monster Truck craze we all know and love.
In addition to the automotive exhibits, there are plenty of opportunities to strut your Ford-powered vehicle. If a straight line is where your heart belongs, we have great news. Drag racing will be in full force at Ford Fest! If that isn’t your thing and you’re more into the handling side of things, both Autocross and a Road Course challenge will be held as well. Want more screaming Ford engine goodness? Head over to the dyno challenge or the drift event to witness some raw horsepower being set free for your ears. On top of that, an event they have dubbed “Sonic Boom” is taking place. During which they will attempt to get every engine present started and revved simultaneously.
There is undoubtedly something for everyone happening at Ford Fest, so you might want to consider booking your hotels now. Luckily, Holley has a set of hotels offering exclusive deals for the event on their website. You can also find a list of vendors that will be in attendance, as well as scheduling and FAQs.
