Aeromotive to Sponsor the Cobra Jet Challenge Class on the Fun Ford Weekend Series Tour


Aeromotive to Sponsor the Cobra Jet Challenge Class on the Fun Ford Weekend Series Tour

It was recently announced that Aeromotive will be the title sponsor of the Cobra Jet Challenge class for 2012 on the Fun Ford Weekend series tour. This class, which is run on an index basis is open to all Cobra Jet Mustangs of any era, not just the all conquering late model machines that Ford Racing has been selling over the last few seasons. The Cobra Jet Mustang, even going all the way back to its roots in 1968 has been a dominating drag strip presence. The won the first time they showed up at the strip taking class victories at the 1968 Winternationals and then they did the same thing in 2008 when the latest generation of cars appeard at the 2008 Winterntationals. It was an amazing way to kick off the rebirth of the car and to complete the circle of history going back to their introduction.

Steve Matusek is a Ford man to the core and his current ride, a Mustang bodied Pro Mod is a snarling beast of a car that has run over 250mph. Chuck Samuel handles the crew chiefing duties on that machine and it is poised to make even more noise during the 2012 season after an exciting and educational 2011 campaign.

This makes a lot of sense for Aeromotive because of the fact that 2010 and 2012 Cobra Jets come delivered with Aeromotive Stealth fuel systems in them. The Stealth line has been revolutionary to the aftermarket because of just how trick the packaging is and how much horsepower it can support. Gone are the days of having a bad ass late model car and crutching the fuel system up with a mishmash of parts that may or may not work with one another and that could ultimately cause you to fry an engine. Aeromotive’s quality is unassailable and the fact that an OEM would choose them as the company to supply the single most crucial components of their factory race car is a testament to that fact.

We want to get ourselves to one of these races because in our opinion, the Cobra Jets are the modern equivalent to the Hurst Hemi Darts and ‘Cudas from back in ’68. Seeing them beat one on another will really be cool!
