Frantic Ford Returns to York
It will be a historic weekend for FRANTIC FORD FUNNY CAR TEAM at the 10th Annual Muscle Car Madness at the York Reunion. The "Frantic Ford" Funny Car Team has ramped things up in 2011 and will be looking to assault the competition in the funny car ranks.
George Reidnauer will be handling the driving chores in the low slung recreation of the 1977 Mustang II bodied team car on display at York Reunion After an extensive period of time away from the sport, the legendary Frantic Ford name will once again make a return to active competition at venues throughout the U.S. Partners Bobby Frey & Al Liebmann will have "Team Frantic" planning to make special appearances at automotive related events throughout the course of the year.
The Frantic Ford name began life in 1970 when original owner Jim Fox made the switch from dragsters to funny cars. Veteran flopper pilots Ron Rivero, "Rapid Roy" Harris, Sarge Arciero and the late Dodger Glenn have all spent time behind the wheel of this fabled east coast terror at some point in their careers. This coming season, the team looks to make a return to active competition and once again place this legendary machine in the winner's circle.
The legendary Frantic Ford name has a rich performance history associated with the former York U.S.30 Dragway. The team was runner-up at the prestigious 1974 Super Stock Nationals, easily one of the year's most impressive events. Additional glory came in the form of winning the 1976 Funny Car Nationals and setting Low E.T of the event. York U.S.30 Dragway was always a favorite stop on the tour for the Frantic Ford Funny Car Team consisting of partners Jim Fox and Freddy Frey. Driver Dodger Glenn was always a fan favorite and could always be counted on to lay down some long, smoky burnouts and big numbers.
Team members will be available throughout the course of the York Reunion event to chat with fans and answer questions pertaining to their upcoming schedule of events.
"Team Frantic Ford' merchandise will also be available for sale. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the past and present when this team rolls in to town. Visit the team web @ www.franticford.com
This car is dedicated to the memory of Paul Roger (Dodger) Glenn - 1945-1978
