SVT was born to build
high-performance Ford vehicles and
the NMRA Keystone Automotive Ford
Nationals will be celebrating SVT’s
20th anniversary by hosting a
special SVT Shootout at Maryland
International Raceway in
Mechanicsville, MD the weekend of
May 3-5, 2013. It’s only fitting
that the #1 all-Ford Motorsport show
in the U.S. plays host to this
speed-infused celebration. SVT
Shootout participants will join
NMRA’s community of racers and car
show enthusiasts for one of the
largest and baddest all-Ford events
of the year. And as a bonus, certain
SVT racing classes include a free
secondary race class entry!
VMP Superchargers has stepped up
once again to sponsor the
Terminator/GT500 Shootout class that
brings together some of the quickest
Cobras and GT500s in the U.S. for a
winner take all format at this
special SVT event. Mingle with the
hottest tuners and car builders for
drag-strip fun and a Shootout to
decide which model is
better—Terminator or Shelby GT500.
Watch the internet forums come alive
for a real-world slug fest. Each
Terminator/GT500 Shootout
participant will also receive a free
entry into Saturday’s SVT Muscle
True Street class (must fit True
Street rules) for even more chances
to win.
The SVT Lightning truck community is
one of the most exciting SVT brands
as evident by the sheer number of
trucks still being modified and
turned into drag strip haulers. If
you are a Lightning enthusiast then
you won’t want to miss this event.
The biggest Lightning shops,
including Johnny Lightning
Performance, will be hitting the
strip with 8-second performances.
Lightning racers are invited to join
the popular Truck & Lightning
category or the SVT Lightning True
Street segment to do battle
exclusively against other Lightnings
for cash and prizes. Racers in SVT
Lightning True Street will receive a
free entry into Sunday’s SVT Rumble
(Bracket) class.
TREMEC True Street, presented by
Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, is
always one of the largest classes
run on Saturday at each NMRA event.
There will two separate SVT True
Street classes, SVT Muscle True
Street (’93 to ’13 SVT cars only)
and SVT Lightning True Street (’93
to ‘95 and ‘99 to ‘04 Lightning
trucks only), each class with its
own purses and prizes…exclusively
for SVT racers! SVT Muscle and
Lightning True Street racers will
make 3 consecutive passes down the ¼
mile and $250 + 6’ trophy will be
awarded to the overall fastest car
and truck, and $100 + plaque will be
awarded to each car and truck racer
with the closest average to 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 seconds! SVT
Muscle and Lightning True Street
racers will receive a free entry
into Sunday’s SVT Rumble (Bracket)
class.
If showing your car or truck is more
your style then look no further than
the UPR Products All-Ford Auto Show
with over 100 awards given away at
this event. Show off your ride for a
chance to get featured in 5.0
Mustang & Super Fords, Muscle
Mustangs & Fast Fords, or NMRA’s own
Race Pages magazine. There will be
special SVT-only auto show classes
and awards…so come out with your
ride for a chance to bring some
home. SVT auto show participants may
also race in SVT True Street on
Saturday with a separate paid race
entry!
