This video captures a Ford Fairmont's track day at High Plains Raceway on April 3, 2021. Initially, the car encountered an unexpected carburetor problem, causing it to run very lean due to loose screws on the carb base. Fortunately, with some assistance, the issue was resolved, allowing the Fairmont to return to the track.
The highlight of the day was achieving a fast lap of 2:19.946. The driver, Ken, managed this impressive time despite only having one session with the car running correctly after the repair. The video also features a brief appearance of a 1963 Falcon Sprint, a vintage racing car, sharing the track with the Fairmont.
This year promises to be busy and fruitful for the Fairmont, with more track events planned.
