Saturday, Day two
Saturday at Ford Takeover happens at Jackson Dragway, just fifteen minutes outside of Jackson TN. Gates open as soon as the vendors are setup, or ten a.m. Official event hours are 9-4. What you can expect is a Manufacturers midway, car show, drag racing, swap meet, YouTubers row, and plenty of food/drinks. Admission at the gate is $20 per person (under 12 free) to spectate (spectators will be directed to the spectator parking area of the track), and $25 to show or drag race. This is a FORD POWERED only event. No other brands, or Ford’s powered by other brands are permitted to drag race, or participate in the car show.

Drag Racing
The drag racing at Ford Takeover is a test & tune format, with grudge racing. There are no classes or payouts. The idea is a chill atmosphere where anyone and everyone can get on the track and have some fun. Jackson Dragway is an 1/8th mile track, and all timing and clocks will be functioning. The track will be prepped, and will go hot shortly after the gates open, provided the weather cooperates. Helmets are required for cars going down the track. The Jackson Dragway staff will make certain the track is ready and most important; safe. If for whatever reason we are not able to run due to weather, the car owner will be refunded the additional $5 they paid to race.
Car Show
The Ford Takeover car show has always been a diverse one! From old Ford roadsters, to brand new GT500s, and everything in between. Our show is quite a bit different, we aren’t looking for show cars, and there is no judging or classes. The car show is to let other Ford guys check out your ride, and have a great time. If your car is a work in progress, under construction, or a daily driver; put it in the show! If your car is built to the hilt, and a concours show winner, we want you too! The goal of Ford Takeover is a good time, devoid of the typical car show bs. Get your Ford out, we want to see it!
Swap meet
All Ford swap meet grows every year, and offers all kinds of new and old school parts, for any and all Ford vehicles. To be a vendor in the Swap Meet, email caleb@thefoxcast.com
