47th Mid America Ford & Shelby Nationals Guide 1 47th Mid America Ford & Shelby Nationals Guide On behalf of all the sponsors, directors, and volunteer workers, Welcome to the 47th Mid America! We know this last year has not been the best for many reasons and we are glad that you are choosing to join us on your one or one of many outings this summer as we begin to try and get back to normal. We hope you find your stay in Tulsa safe, fun, fast, and exciting. Mid America will host several outstanding Mustangs and Fords. Numerous magazines will be in attendance to capture the event and who knows who all from the world of Ford will be in Tulsa! Wednesday our registration officially opens and with it a chance to pick up all your pre‐registrations and merchandise before they are all sold out. Come join us for this relaxed night and a chance to hang out with old friends or make some new ones before all the festivities begin. Thursday kicks off the first of the activities with a trip to Hallett Motor Racing Circuit. There you’ll enjoy road course action, Swap Meet and talk to many of our sponsors on all that they have to offer. Come join us and bring a helmet, as you never know when you might get a chance to get out on the track. You’ll also get a chance to see some of the best cars from New to Vintage running around the track in stock vehicles and some heavily modified. This diversity will give you a chance to see what you might want to do to your car(s). Tulsa Cruising to the Blue Dome District – Participating in this great cruise from the Marriott to Downtown Tulsa is always a hit. Join us at the hotel for this great procession of all makes and models of Fords and Shelbys. At the Blue Dome district, you will be directed by our parking staff to a spot just for you. Once there, enjoy some AC, good foods, beverages and a great night of conversation with other likeminded enthusiasts. Please wear your badge at ALL times; it is key to remember this for the entire event. You never know when you may need it! Friday starts off with another day at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit. That evening is kicked off with food trucks in the parking lot along with our second year of Friday Night under the starts. Let’s keep our event focused on FORDS, FAMILIES, and FUN, with fun for the entire family. We will have food trucks; if inclement weather arises, we’ll move indoors. Our Friday night under the stars will be an exciting one with speakers from Ford Motor Company, Shelby American Inc, Gateway Classic Mustang and followed by a showing of the documentary: The 24 Hour War. Saturday Morning starts us off with a new adventure on the Mid America Route 66 Poker Run powered by Team Shelby. You can explore the sites of Route 66 with friends and family and a chance to win the top hands. Later that afternoon, we will continue the fun by beating the heat with Drag Racing into evening! Gates open at 2PM. This Guide will provide you all the critical information you need to be involved in all the events. If you have any questions, please flag down one of the event staff wearing an event staff shirt and they will provide an answer or direct you to the person that can.
