This is great news Evil, although I imagine that you and I are about the only 2 here on TMSF that could care the least bit about road racing.

Missing from the article is what type of "Ford" engine they'll be using. Is it the DOHC 5.0 that Yates developed a few years ago or yet another reguratated pushrod?

Should be the 5.0 4V 'Cammer' built by Roush Yates. I have not read anything about Ford switching back to pushrod for any of their factory supported road racing efforts.

So the three Ford powered teams will be . .

MSR
Doran
? (Not sure on the third at the moment. Thought Finlay Motorsports might switch back to Ford.)

And there are a few guys on here that like road racing. I've met up with some at Barbers as well as Mid-Ohio.

Me 3. Left and right, up and down. Real racers do more than round and round. Looks like I won't make it to the Rolex weekend and Mid-O next year, but I'm definitely planning on the ALMS/IRL doubleheader.
