Check out Ford Muscle’s gallery of all the Friday action from Holley’s Ford Festival, including the all-new off-road showcase, drift and autocross, show & shine, and qualifying for the NMRA’s heads-up and index eliminators!

Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and Chelsea Denofa put on a show with their Formula Drift machines, sideways just inches apart as they shred years worth of rubber in minutes. That’s the cost of having fun!

Ford Racing's one-of-a-kind electric Cobra Jet Mustang made a series of exhibition laps -- with three large battery packs (one in the nose, one behind the driver's seat, and another in the trunk), four large electric motors, the car weighs an eye-popping 5,000 lbs., but has been 8.0's in the 1/4-mile and went 8.40s here this weekend. The team says the 1,500 horsepower (and 2,000-horse-capable) machine is limited more by traction than anything in its quest for the sevens.

Holley’s brand new (and we mean so new that it was built in just a couple of days before the kickoff to Ford Fest) has been a huge hit.

HooptieX brought out a collection of, well….hoopties, to rip around the off-road course, including an Aerostar van, a Mustang, a 90s Ford Taurus, and more. These guys were blowing up radiators and airbags and ripping off bodywork as they caught air over the jumps.
