In early 2011, a group of North American motorsports facility owners, led by Texas Motorplex (Ennis, Texas) owner Billy Meyer, worked to bring back the Fun Ford Weekend series because of popular demand. FFW successfully completed the 2011 season under new management, and now they have announced that they will return next year with an expanded event schedule for 2012.* The series will grow to 12 events in nine different U.S. states as well as one event in Canada.
“Fans and participants all suffered when Fun Ford Weekend was shut down a few years ago,” Meyer said. “Ford vehicle owners are extremely loyal to their brand, and they love big events and racing. Working with Ford Racing, Roush Yates and JE Pistons, we got off to a great start in relaunching this series and are very excited to announce our 2012 event schedule and the dedicated people who will be directing the series this year.”
