Had the pleasure of watching the guys at the Ford Performance Racing School compete in the NASA 25 hour race at Thunderhill Raceway Park. Very cool experience to watch the race at night and be in the pits during a stop. You can really feel the tension and the excitement as the car comes down pit lane and seeing everyone’s breath in the air. This was the first race for FPRS with the new FP350S, and it went 20+ of the 25 hours. The team battled through various issues during the event and maintained the 2nd place position during the majority of the race. This included unexpected brake pad consumption and losing one of the “Laguna” pipes during the race.

Being able to watch them run their top car on our Signature Wheels is a true honor. Even cooler is that they use the staff from the owner programs to come out and run these events. All those instructors that helped all of us during the Raptor, GT350, RS, ST, and other programs in Utah get to come out and enjoy some real competition.

I remember a year ago when nobody believed or heard of us, and now the sky is the limit. Congratulations to the Ford Performance Racing School, and I hope to see them all again soon. If anyone here was able to attend please share your pictures as well. Below you will find a mixture of shots from myself and FPRS.

Hope to hear more about the engine failure!
Turns out they had some valvetrain noise coming from the top end the motor. Decided to sideline the car before anything catastrophic happened. Car still runs, but something needs fixing
