The show is being hosted by Peninsula Mustang Enthusiast and 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, a local children’s hospital. This year has been our most successful yet with our events gathering 150-200+ cars and raising over $5,000 this year to date.

Just wanted to give everyone a quick event update and address a few questions I have been asked.

Pre-registration is going great! Don't forget you save $5 if you register before September 22nd at MAFRU Registration

I have been asked how the awards will be presented. There will be around 30 classes, so if you have a Bronco you will NOT be competing against a Shelby or a Focus.

I have been asked about the awards. I am hoping to have a picture up in the next week or so, but they are custom made out of acrylic. They are not your standard trophies.

More things have been coming in for the raffle/auction including wash buckets, banners, SilverHorse Racing items, National Parts Depot gift certificates, Blow By Racing gift certificates, Street Side Auto gift certificates, CJ Pony Parts gift certificates, golf passes, race ramps, Classic Design Concepts gift certificates, Lucas Oil products, K&N gift certificate, t-shirts, signs, and much more!

Look forward to seeing everyone at the event! Let's have some fun and raise money for the kids at CHKD!

If you have any other questions, let me know!

My wife worked at CHKD while I was stationed in VA Beach. This is a great hospital and the kids there are just awesome. They are going through so much at a young age but yet they are so strong and positive about life. Hats off to all involved in running this show.

Thanks for the kind words Steve, and thanks to CJPP for donating a gift card to our event. CHKD is an amazing hospital and we do everything we can to raise money to help them out while having fun and enjoying our hobby!

Yeah I feel bad that we had to move as I know my wife really enjoyed working there with the kids. She had couple that she saw on a daily basis and use to tell me stories. I really am looking forward to seeing pics from this event.
