(Words and Photos by Troy Thomas)\u00a0 There will always be tight knit \u201chardcore\u201d enthusiasts within the automotive community which go beyond your stereotypical brand loyal fan. \u00a0This is not simply that guy or gal that says he or she only likes Ford, Mopar or Chevy brand vehicles. \u00a0Nope, I\u2019m talking about the enthusiast that latches onto a deeper aspect of a brand. \u00a0A component, a characteristic that gives the machine we call the automobile its soul. \u00a0Capable of giving you goose bumps, increasing your heart rate and making even the most senior enthusiast feel like a kid again. \u00a0That\u2019s right, the engine, the heart and soul of these amazing vehicles we place so high on a pedestal of automotive high performance history. \u00a0I\u2019m referring to the engines that were at the forefront of the Super Stock wars. \u00a0Chevy fans had the W engines, Mopar fans had the Max Wedge, Pontiac had the Super Duty, and Ford had the FE. \u00a0Ahhh yes, the Ford Edsel engine, the engine that powered the larger than life 1964 Thunderbolt to countless victories, 1320 ft at a time.<\/p>\n
Every April, rain or shine, die hard FE fans set out on a pilgrimage to pay respect to and experience all things FE, at the FE Reunion at Beaver Springs Dragway in Pennsylvania. \u00a0Hosting some of the best FE powered Super Stockers, Jr. Stockers and muscle cars in North America. \u00a0Regardless if you are an FE fan or simply a fan of nostalgia drag racing, this event is a must see, or shall I say experience.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s one of the best events to watch these machines stretching their legs in their natural habitat, the quarter mile! \u00a0Here are some photo highlights from this year\u2019s event that will hopefully get you excited about attending in 2019.<\/p>\n
