Event Details

NMCA is pleased to host the 9th Annual Ford Performance Cobra Jet Showdown presented by Watson Racing at US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan, the weekend of August 27-30, 2020. This year's Cobra Jet Showdown includes a special drag race class, luncheons, happy hours...and much more! This special event takes place as part of the NMRA/NMCA All-American Nationals and is the weekend after the Woodward Dream Cruise and the weekend before the NHRA U.S. Nationals.

Cobra Jets of all years (tributes and clones welcome) will compete on the 1320 for big money and national exposure. Major bragging rights are up for grabs as well for the racer who wins the Cobra Jet Showdown, with a special trip into the Aerospace Components Winners Circle and post-event coverage in Fastest Street Car magazine.

This event's loaded with special activities and it all starts on Thursday with a free Racer Happy Hour where Cobra Jet Showdown teams can enjoy cold beer. Friday and Saturday feature Cobra Jet Showdown luncheons in the pits in the 60' X 30' Snake Pit hospitality tent.
