Nominations for September FOTM:I Track the Twisties! - The Ford Focus Forum

**Ataru** · 09-12-2009, 11:58 AM

The Focus has a following for many reasons. Some like its looks, some like how it handles, and some just can't stand imports. One of the popular reasons to own one is for track use. Now, we all can admit that the Focus is not the greatest for drag racing, but one area it does shine is on a road course. So with that in mind, this month it a tribute to those who can say:

I Track the Twisties!

If you have taken your Focus to a track day or HPDE event, on a road course, then you are eligible for this month's FOTM. You do not have to compete in wheel to wheel racing, just have a image of you on track with your Focus.

Each person can nominate the 5 cars they would like to see in the final voting. Feel free to post images of the cars you are nominating as this will help your favorite cars chance at getting into the final 5 for voting.

Quote:

Each month there will be a competition for the Focaljet, Focus of the Month. Here are the guidelines:

Must be a current active member of FJ to be considered.
Cars to be considered for FOTM must be officially Nominated in the Nominations thread.
Car owner or any other member may nominate the car.
Each member may nominate only FIVE cars.
Each month will have a theme. Please nominate a car that fits into that theme.
Pictures of the car should be put in the thread.
Entries will not roll over to the following month.
The 5 cars with the most nominations will go into a poll for the members to determine the winner of each month's FOTM.
FOTM will get a sticky thread for the next month all about the car and the owner AND the car featured on the main page of Focaljet.
Winners of FOTM can not be considered for future FOTM with the same car within 12 months of winning. On the 13th month after winning, that car is eligible again under the same owner.

Nominations will end on September 16th with voting starting shortly after that.

No, we have already done auto-x. It specifically has to be a track event on a road course.
