Does FORD care about protecting the Lightning name?

With the success of the Lightning brand, I would think that
FORD will be sending these guys a letter real soon now ...

What's "the Fest?" (feeling stupid asking the question, as I guess I'm supposed to know, given your use of shorthand).
p.s.-- Thanks for the compliment, but although I race, I do not claim to be fast. At the last event, my chick instructor moved over the to driver's seat and immediately turned laps faster than me. Some are born fast, but most need lots of instruction and practice.
I am a pretty fast lawyer, though.

J/K. I was born in Salina, KS. And SCCA is now HQ'ed in KS. And I attended the SCCA Solo II nationals last year in KS (spectator only). But not this year. Shame -- I did a Web search and it looks cool.
