From green flag to checkers (and more), Ben Adams lets us ride shotgun for the entirety of the Fordwater Trophy race as he pilots a lovely little Turner-Ford MKII. Ben started in 9th and finished 7th. After a very good start, he spent the bulk of the race between the leading pack and the much larger group a ways behind. I’m glad that he chose to let us see the unfiltered video, rather than editing out the warmup lap and gridding up. It lets us really be a part of the whole experience. This is as close as most of us are likely to get to a seat for the Revival, and I send a hearty thanks to Ben for letting us tag along.

Very cool. A lot of fun. Being able to see the rev counter and hear the engine note is also part of the fun. I also like seeing the marshals since I am one.
I helped a friend build a Turner Ford for F Production racing in Monterey, Ca, in the mid 1970’s.
He does a good job of keeping the engine in the power band (watch the tach) as he drives – well done!
I have SO got to go there someday
