24th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA Spring Break Shootout Presented by Steeda

Kicking off the 20th Anniversary of the NMRA Ford Nationals presented by Keystone Automotive season is a race like no other as Bradenton Motorsports Park will once again be filled to capacity with the Blue Oval faithful March 1-4.

This is no ordinary drag race. In fact, the 24th Annual Nitto Tire NMRA Spring Break Shootout presented by Steeda is the biggest all-Ford drag race in Florida, and this year promises to be the biggest yet – highlighted by an incredible lineup of specialty events ranging from the Watson Racing Cobra Jet Showdown, to the insane Outlaw True Street class sponsored by ididit.


Those however are just a small part of an action-packed weekend, which begins in earnest on Friday March 2nd, featuring 11 regular NMRA classes as well as a wide range of specialty races. New this year is the Steeda Limited Street class – a heads-up, power-adder, small-tire class, which ran at one event last year as an exhibition class. This year the gloves are off as racers prepare their combinations for a battle royale. At the core of this event, is the JLT Performance Spring Break Shootout – a race among the quickest and fastest True Street racers in the country. More than 100 street legal cars will gather in Bradenton on Saturday to battle for bragging rights and to become one of the sweet-16 to race in a four round battle on Sunday to determine an overall winner.

Another facet of QA1 True Street will be the TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout which pairs the quickest eight manually-shifted cars from Saturdays True Street class against each other in a high-winding, gear-grinding three round finale.

Add to that the ididit Outlaw True Street class, designed for the over-the-top, insane combinations for drivers who will be racing their own race on Saturday evening, and you have the ingredients for one of the best races of the year! If you have a street legal Mustang or Ford, the Spring Break Shootout is your shot at hanging with some of your friends as you take in a full weekend of competition, both on and off the track.

The action doesn’t end with the beat of the True Street drum either. Add in the incredibly powerful cars of the VP Racing Fuels Street Outlaw class as well as those who race in the Edelbrock Renegade and ProCharger Coyote Modified – all on small tires and all racing heads-up – attendees will see some of the quickest and fastest Fords on the planet..

This is THE weekend for Ford and Mustang lovers, from across the country, to make their yearly pilgrimage to one of the best races in the land.
