Speedway Fords & Mercurys Newsletter

Back in the early 1980s there was a new club formed to provide fans of the Ford and Mercury race cars a place to share information and friendship. One of the primary elements of that collection of vehicles was of course the Ford Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler/Spoiler II. One of our Team Members, Steve Marek, recently approached us with the opportunity to share with you some of those early articles. Starting December 3, 2012 we will be bringing you a Speedway reprint (pertinent articles only) every Monday. We want to thank Steve for his generosity. Previously we have provided you with historical documents provided by Marty Burke and they proved very popular with many visitors to this site and we hope you will enjoy these as much as you did those.
To give you a small taste of what is to come here is another article provided by Steve. It is by one of our other Members, John Craft, and was published in the August 29, 1988 issue of Autoweek. I really enjoyed this since John is an important contributor to this site even now and I am still a subscriber to Autoweek to this very day.
