For over two decades, the Nitto NMRA Spring Break Shootout presented by Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, blasted into Bradenton Motorsports Park in Bradenton, Florida for a weekend of wheels-up drag racing madness.

The NMRA offers a slew of drag racing classes for all levels of performance and modifications, plus there are special attractions, like the Tremec Racer Appreciation Party, True Street and we spotted BoostedGT from the hit TV show Street Outlaws, who made exhibition and grudge runs against racers willing to call him out.

Mustang Mayhem at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction

Barrett-Jackson recently held its 45^th Annual Collector Car auction, and Brothers Performance was on hand to check out the action. Our team was there to see all the Mustang Mayhem at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction, held at WestWorld in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The nine-day celebration went from Jan. 23-31, and Barrett-Jackson filled its docket with more than 1,500 rare and collectible vehicles. “My father, Russ Jackson, and his friend, Tom Barrett, started the auction with one auction and a few select cars,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of barrett-Jackson. “More than four decades later, Barrett-Jackson has become the premier collector car auction company for enthusiasts around the world. Of course, our 45th anniversary is as much about our future as our past and that’s why we continue to bring new assets to our events,” said Jackson.

Mark Fields, president of Ford was on hand to help auction a Focus RS. the proceeds went to the JDRF charity.

The 45th Anniversary Scottsdale Auction included a host of exciting activities, events and exhibits over the week. Kicking off the week was the Cox Family Value Day on Saturday, January 23, with free admission for children under 12. The Opening Night Gala, a renowned event held at each of Barrett-Jackson’s four annual auctions, was on the 25th. Registered bidders, consignors and sponsors received invitations to the gala.

As much State fair as it is a car auction, the nine-day auction, offered the Ride ’N Drives and Thrill Rides with Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge, as well as a massive vendor marketplace, live music on select evenings and dozens of food and beverage options. Plus, we took in all the latest in performance from Ford, Ford Performance, Dodge, Chevrolet, Roush Performance and Shelby American. This included the new RST 511 hp EcoBoost Roush Ford Mustang and the brand-new Terlingua Race Team that was introduced at the show. We also spotted many celebrities including Aaron Shelby, Jay Leno, Ken Block, Richard Rawlings of Fast and Loud and the legend Burt Reynolds.

And in addition to the miles of classics, we spotted all types of late-model muscle, with the main feature being the Jack Miller collection of 38 late-model Mustangs, including rare Stangs from Roush, Shelby and Saleen.

New to the 45th Anniversary Scottsdale Auction will be the Experts’ Symposiums held throughout the week. Here, enthusiasts can get an idea about what to look for when buying a car and hear from Barrett-Jackson’s team of experts. This team works at each event to help review certain high-end and rare cars that may be represented, by the consignor, as having matching numbers or documented with show provenance. The symposium schedule will be announced and available online as the auction approaches.

“This 45th anniversary celebration will represent the ultimate automotive lifestyle experience and the most incredible environment of its kind,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “The amazing docket we are building for the 45th anniversary will be a milestone in Barrett-Jackson history.”

Shelby Announces Terlingua Racing Team Special-Edition Ford Mustang

Shelby Announces Terlingua Racing Team Special-Edition Ford Mustang

Shelby Announces Terlingua Racing Team Special-Edition Ford Mustang, a 750 horsepower powerhouse designed to encompass world-class performance both on street and on track.

Shelby American of Las Vegas will build 50 Terlingua Racing Team Mustangs that will take the S550 chassis to new levels of performance. “The Shelby Terlingua is our most track-inspired Mustang, and is built as a tribute to the Terlingua Racing Team and their 1967 Trans Am Championship,” said Gary Schechner, VP of Marketing and Sales at Shelby American.

Mustang enthusiasts may remember the limited-edition V6 Terlingua Mustang in 2007, designed to replicate the Mustangs created by the Terlingua Racing Team in the 1960s. The Terlingua Racing Team of Texas as headed by Carroll Shelby and Bill Neale, and the gang would head down to the 200,000-acre ranch and spend their time on motorcycles, hunting and of course racing. The inspired men also created a technical school for young men in the region of Texas.

Returning to the Terlingua Mustang is the popular jackrabbit logo designed for the original Terlingua Ranch and a supercharger to boost power. “We start with a Whipple supercharger mated to the new 5.0L V8 Mustang GT producing over 750 hp and give it an exclusive Shelby-by-Eibach sway bar and adjustable coil-overs,” added Schechner. “Then we bring in Ford Performance upgrades including half-shafts, a short-throw shifter and the aggressive sounding Borla Exhaust with black tips. We also added the Brembo Big Brake kit for racetrack-proven performance. And with 20-inch Weld Racing wheels, tons of Shelby-designed carbon fiber components and the distinct Terlingua Racing Team badging, this car looks and runs like a Terlingua racecar should.”

Schechner also told Brothers Performance that each of the 50 models will carry an autograph plaque of Bill Neale (a Terlingua founder and designer of the racing team crest), Carroll Shelby and Jerry Titus, the 1967 Trans Am Champion winning driver. Shelby will offer the Terlingua Mustang starting at $65,999.

"The Terlingua Racing Team was created in the 1960's to have a lot of fun for a lot of people," said Bill Neale, designer of the famous Terlingua Racing Team Crest. "Our rough and ready group was as passionate about playing as we were about racing. From our wild weekends on the Rio Grande in South Texas to racetracks across the world, the Terlingua Racing Team took no prisoners. The team crest and racing livery that I designed came to symbolize that raucous, irreverent lifestyle that thumbed its nose at the establishment."
