Another great Pony Trail and Show hosted by the Derby City Mustang Club on Oct 12 2019 at Bill Collins Ford in Louisville KY. The Pony Trail started at Bill Collins Ford at 10 am, leaving there we headed to the south on highways and back roads to The Old Friends at Dream Chase Farm for retired through bred horses. As we toured the area we were able to see some famous horses, Silver Charm was a favorite of all. After leaving the horse farm we went to Cattlemen Steakhouse for a late lunch. Saturday was show day which started out pretty chilly but as the day went on the temps were nice. We had a nice surprise from Brandon and Amy; they brought a BIG pot of delicious chili and all the fixings for lunch, Mason also brought some delicious no bake cookies, great way to warm us up on the cool morning, thanks everyone for the meal. We had 16 cars from the club there, for that we won the Club Participation Award. Most everybody brought home an award.

Aug 23rd - 25th A large group traveled to Somerset KY for the annual Somernites Mustang Alley Cruise-in. We left Friday leaving Daisy’s at 9:30 am then meeting those from Kentucky at Walmart in Bardstown. Traveling the back roads we headed south stopping in Danville for lunch then on to our destination Somerset. We arrived there just in time to make the Rattlesnake Run which by the way was a fabulous road to travel in your Mustang even thought we were rained on most of the way, with a few downpours, where the ones with tops down got drowned. Later that evening we played corn hole in the hotel parking lot until midnight. Getting up early the next morning we headed downtown to wait in line for over 3 hours, but it was worth it to get the best parking. The weather was wonderful with temps in the high 70’s and low 80’s and no humidity to speak of. It was a record year with 1156 Mustangs and the overall total was 2022 cars. FCMC had 22 Mustangs, hopefully next year we can encourage more to come.

I want to thank all that came out and supported our show Saturday. We started out with dry skies as we set up the show site, but when the last canopy was in place the rain came. There was one point in the morning that I hoped for at least 20 show cars. With an very gloomy forecast we fielded around 55 cars by the end of the day as the rain subsided and the sun came out and dried things up. Everyone seemed to be in great spirits and had a good time. We look forward to next year and hope for a nicer day...........thanks, Steve

Nick’s museum is quite a fascinating place to see, he has everything under the sun in his collection, if you never have been there it is worth the trip. Great food, great music and especially great friends to spend the day with what else could you ask for. For their first car show they had over 125 cars, we had 9 Mustangs there.

The 1st MCA National held in Huston TX at the Lone Star Flight Museum March 29 – 31. The weather was the coolest that I’ve had in the last three years of going to Huston in March. At least the rain side-stepped the actual show field. As part of the show the museum offered flights on some of their aircraft. A B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Mitchell, P-51 Mustang and a Stearman biplane. When the flights took off they circled around and flew over the show field. MCA national director Tim Hahn piloted the last B-17 flight on Sat. A side from the usual nice selection of Mustangs, there was one that totally jumped out at me. There was this one 1970 Warbird Tribute Mustang. It started out by me over hearing someone say “He’s going to start it”. From about thirty feet away I heard what sounded like a P-51 airplane starting. I was thinking, I got to see how they stuffed a V-12 Merlin into this car. To find out the car only has a 302 in it. But what the car does have is one heck of a sound system and some assume sound tracks of an actual P-51. The 302 sounded pretty good all by its self. Thanks to some bad ass cams and other internal goodies. It has wheels the match the P-51, custom steering wheel & dash and exhaust that exited thru the fenders. I’m trying to see if I can get some video of this car to bring to a club meeting later on. Bill the owner told me that he also had some very impressive sound tracks of the machine guns firing. He was instructed not to play it during the show. The very dirty 1967 Shelby GT 350 is a 1 of 1 barn find. Wonder what it will be worth when restored. Then to top it all off, during the awards presentations, when Steve Prewitt got to the ODF class awards, he called Roland Rodriguez’s name. He then proceeded to instruct him to bring a friend, or two, or three. Steve then proceeded to inform the crowd that Roland had 21 cars entered in the show. Roland racked up a bunch of gold and silver awards. I managed only one gold, but that brings me to needing just two more points to get my first medallion………..Kamos

Mustangs & Mustangs, Lakeland FL. On Saturday Feb. 23rd I attended this 22nd annual show. The show got off to a very slow start. Crazy Horse the P-51 was 2.5 hours late getting to the show because of FOG. I met up with my friend from Florida with her # 99 HPGT. Like last year the airport put on a bit of an air show right above the show field...……….Kamos

On Sunday Feb 24th I drove to Fort Myers for a cruise in the Historic Downtown part of Fort Meyers. I just love these Florida shows that are held in town, they have a very homie feel to them. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from, including the original Fords Garage Restaurant. In attendance at the show were some different cars. There were two street legal Bumper Cars, one gas and one electric. A “Radio Flyer” that had a 350 V-8 to get it going. But this one wasn’t as big as the one we spotted in Mississippi at Cruising The Coast a couple of years ago. There was a half Cessna 172 airplane, half VW car...………….Kamos

Towards the end of the week I headed toward Key West. On my way I stopped at Homestead Miami Speedway. Upon walking thru the front gate I was shown the 2019 Black Bullitt that will be the pace car for this November Championship race. I could still see the doughnuts that Joey Logano left on the front straight after winning the Monster Energy NASCAR Championship the past November, IN A FORD. The next day I concord the 7-mile bridge (Go Janet). So, so far I’ve had my GT/CS down to the southernmost spot of the continual U.S. Also had to get me some Everglades chicken “Gator Tail) while Iwas down there. It might have been this gator’s cousin...………….Kamos

On March 2-3 I went to the NMRA Spring Break Shootout in Bradenton FL. Drag racing, with a car show on the side. Lots of Cobra jets and Mustangs that could for sure get you improper acceleration tickets in Somerset, were there. The Candy Apple Red fastback looked real good in the sun. Oh, it got best paint. The white Shelby GT-300 parked next to me is his daily driver. He runs B-2 bracket and he also road races it...………..Kamos
