One of the treats for Ford Racing fans at the NMRA’s Spring Break Shootout is the Cobra Jet Showdown. It’s one of the few chances we get to witness Ford Racing’s finest battle it out at an all-Ford event.
For the 2015 Ford Racing Cobra Jet Showdown, Watson Racing will once again sponsor the class, which will qualify on Friday, and run eliminations on Saturday. These factory hot rods will be set on kill, and come out of the hole wheels-up. It’s something you don’t want to miss.
“Cobra Jets have had amazing success on the track and truly showcase Blue Oval power. The Cobra Jet Showdown gives CJ owners another great opportunity to experience what their Cobra Jets can do,” said Steve Wolcott, NMRA’s CEO. “The NMRA Spring Break Shootout is the place to be for Ford racing fans…and the addition of the Ford Racing Cobra Jet Showdown further ads to an already incredible event. A big thank you to Watson Racing for sponsoring this class and supporting Cobra Jet owners around the U.S.”
The Cobra Jet Showdown is a handicap start; no breakout eliminator based an individual engine’s index, with a $2,500 purse. The winner gets $1,000, along with a custom jacket and award. Make sure to be at Bradenton Motorsports Park March 5th-8th to get a look at these factory hot rods in action, among many other exciting classes.
