Really?....Ford Racing builds them?
Cool! Guess these are built by a 3rd party:headbonk::headbonk::lol::lol:
Who makes the plastic fender protectors in the pictures? I would like to have them for my shop.
Ford Racing builds neither the Boss302S nor the Cobra Jet drag cars. Watson Racing and Engineering does most of the frame, chassis and cage work etc. They also assist Ford engineers in developing parts for the race cars ie the aero stuff moving air from the front of the car to where they need it. They are currently working on resolving the many issues to build a Cobra Jet from the 2015 model using a stick axle. Most classes make you run a factory frame and they'll need to cut and paste the rear of the 2015. After the new Cobra Jet is ironed out, only then will Ford Racing begin working on making a 2015 to compete in WC. So a 2015 running in WC is a couple of years away. I recently spoke with Chuck at Mid Ohio as he sponsors our car in WC.

Given the copious amount of talking done by announcers during car races, a lot can be lost. But our sharp-eared—if that’s a thing—friends atMustang6G*picked up on a telling comment made in minute 39 of last weekend’s*Indianapolis Motor Speedway broadcast:*“And right now what’s in development is that GT350 race car for next year. We should see that car on the track later this September.”
As*Mustang6G*points out, the only IMSA event in September is the*Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge in Austin*at the Circuit of the Americas, which takes place on September 19.
While the announcer was referring to the track-only GT350R, this off-the-cuff comment suggests to us that the introduction of the streetable version of the*2015 Mustang Shelby GT350*could be imminent, perhaps occurring just before the racing version makes its debut. Of course, it’s not impossible that Ford will show the salable car later, as Chevrolet did when it unveiled*the NASCAR version of its SS*some weeks before pulling the sheets from*the production model.
But our most recent*GT350 spy shots*from the Nürburgring show a very complete-looking (and bad-ass!) car that appears to be in its final verification and development phase. We don’t think we’re alone in our anticipation of Ford stripping off the camo and revealing what promises to be one of the greatest Mustangs in history.
