A diverse combination of (mostly) Ford-powered vehicles gathered for the chance to run on ”The Fastest Track in the West”. The cars were split into four run groups and each pack got five sessions on Saturday and five on Sunday…an ample opportunity to drive the cars as they were meant to be driven! From the tech inspection, to the driver’s meeting, to the on-track sessions…everything ran like clockwork. A fine way to celebrate Mother’s Day! Check out the pictures for more of the story.

The event filled the Knott’s Berry Farm parking lot with approximately 2,000 Ford and Lincoln vehicles and celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Cougar, 50th anniversary of the Cobra, and 80th anniversary of the ’32 Ford. The skies alternated between overcast and sunny but temps were comfortable either way. The hot set up is to arrive early and hang out in the entrance to the lot so you can check out all the rides as they drive in. Special guests included drag racers John and Courtney Force and Robert “Top Gun” Hight who just won four Wally’s in a row. As usual, Steve Saleen was in his booth autographing posters at the end of a long line. Roush and Ford Racing both had nice displays. For more of the story, check out the pix!

Cloudy… sunny, dry…drizzling, warm…arctic chill…take your pick. But the weather didn’t keep enthusiasts away and JBA had a good turn-out for the April edition of Coffee & Cars. We moved the date forward one week from Easter Sunday, because while we are willing to go head-to-head with the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance or the Good Guys Show at Del Mar, we are not willing to go head-to-head with God. Highlights included hot coffee, healthy donuts (right!),a fire pit, good conversation, a HUGE Pontiac contingent, and a vast variety of smoky burnouts. All good clean fun. Thank you to all our guests who make this event happen each month. See the pictures for more of the story!

The morning kicked off early with complimentary donuts and coffee. Then we had the pleasure of performing power verifications on twelve beautiful Mustangs  and one turbocharged Ford Sierra RS/Cosworth. JBA’s Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno measured the torque, hp and air/fuel ratio for each of the cars. We wrapped up the dyno action with barbecued hot dogs and soda. It’s always a pleasure working with the Mustang Club of San Diego and they are welcome back any time! Check out the pictures for more of the story!

The fabled March Meet, now in its 54th year, was expanded to four days and ran Mar. 1-4.  Legendary father and son drag racers Larry Dixon Sr. and Larry Dixon Jr. were the Grand Marshals of the iconic race. More than450 racers registered in classes such as Nostalgia Top Fuel, Nostalgia Funny Car, A/Fuel, Jr. Fuel, 7.0 Pro, Nostalgia Eliminator-I, Nostalgia Eliminator-II, Nostalgia Eliminator -III, A/Gas, B/Gas, C/Gas, D/Gas and Hot Rod. In addition to great drag racing, the event featured a car show, swap meet, vendor row and plenty of food and drink.

JBA cruised up to Bakersfield for Saturday’s festivities and the weather was perfect. It was fun watching San Diego’s very own Nostalgia Top Fuel team Neal & White lay down great numbers. On Sunday, the team made it all the way to the finals and almost took the championship in an extremely close race. Walking through the extensive pit area, we found row after row of bitchin’ cars. If you like drag racing even a little bit, the March Meet at historic Famoso Raceway is a must-add to your bucket list. Check out the pictures for more of the story!

The day started early with donuts, coffee and German engineering winding high on JBA’s Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno. We ran 18 or 19 cars on the dyno…three pulls each to document power-to-weight ratio for an upcoming open track event. In addition to an excellent collection of street and race-only Porsche’s, we dyno’d a BMW M3 and a little American muscle, namely a 2005 GTO and  a 2007 Z06 Corvette. The dyno action only let up long enough for everyone to enjoy barbecued hot dogs, chips and drinks. Hopefully, everyone had a great time. We know the crew at JBA did! Many thanks to Jim and the PCA for a fun dyno day!
