The seminars dealt with car set-up, parts availability, the BFGoodrich g-Force R1 tires, the data-acquisition system and the various mechanical parts and systems on the cars.
"The entire process of how we put this event together was the result of years of experience in other racing series among our staff," said series director Lynda Randall. "I think it was unprecedented in my long history in the sport, and a great way to kick off what we are sure is going to be a very competitive and fun series."
The most exciting part of the event came when the cars were delivered to each owner on Saturday afternoon. The drivers jumped into their new FR500S vehicles to participate in open track sessions for the remainder of the day. For those who couldn’t get enough of their new Mustang, there were more open track sessions available on Sunday.
The new car owners were all very much looking forward to competing in this new championship series, one that should be a favorite with racers and fans alike.
"It feels really special be a part of this chapter in Ford’s history, especially in this new series," said new owner Andrew Hendricks of StableOne Racing.
"You’re bringing back the golden age of Mustang racing. These are purpose-built factory race cars, and that’s what this is all about; getting set up in these cars to do something fantastic, building this program up and getting this series off the ground. That’s what we’re all here for."
