Ahhh...its finally over...
Its been an exhausting week, but for a Mustang fan, a wonderful one.
Our local club, Magic City Mustangs, setup and ran registration and parking...which for a show with 2000 cars were huge jobs. Club members started initial setup on Monday, and worked every day until the opening on Friday...and then through the weekend. I had a little shorter week, starting on Wednesday and working through the weekend. After setup, we had lots of help from other MCA club members from around the country. Luckily, the Barber Motorsport folks handled security and we had lots of help from Jefferson Co. Sheriffs Dept. also.
The last race was done by 2PM Sunday, then we started taking down the banners and parking markers. We were all finally off of Barber's property by 4PM. Luckily, the bad weather predicted for the last 2 days held off till after closing.
I think that that during my 5 days setting up or working the show I saw every type of Mustang ever made by Ford (and parked most of them). And I saw a lot that Ford didn't make, at least in their current form! I'm still trying to track down info on the electric powered '67 or '68 convertible I saw humming around the vendor area. And the '73 coupe with Lambo doors was a bit of a surprise.
Unfortunately, there were only about 6 Mustang II's in the show. I saw a KC, 3 CBII's, and the Western Ghia. I didn't have mine there either, so I can't say much, but it would have been nice to have had a dozen or more. I'll just have to get moving so I can have 2 cars at the 50th!
