Mustang 50th Anniversary
 

Any SSP owners planning to attend either of the MCA 50th celebration events? It's probably not too early to register and start making reservations, etc.

We're going....but being on the east coast we're hitting the Charlotte show. We're already registered and have our hotel reservations. ;)

You make me proud Brad ! LOL Getting reservations so early lol

Mike, I plan on going.
I am checking with a buddy of mine that lives there before I make a hotel reservation. See if he has room or not.

Keep me posted on where you'll be. Should be fun !
Just not looking forward at towing the trailer and car that far both ways uugghhhh lol

Then Ripon shortly after.

Well, it was a bit earlier than I usually make reservations for stuff like that. But within days of me starting to search hotels, 3 had already sold out so I went ahead and made them while I could. ;)

I can only imagine how fast Vegas will fill up !!

I'm attending the Charlotte (Concord) event and will trailer the Michigan State Police SSP....all registered and have a hotel room booked. As was mentioned, hotels are a hot ticket in that area.

Looking forward to meeting you Mike and checking out the MSP! :thumbsup:

thanks brad...looking forward to meeting you there as well. imagine we'll have a pretty good turnout from SSP'ers.

John, I'll be driving from the new place in Sonoma County and can meet up with you in the Sacramento area if that works out. I'd prefer to convoy with SSP'ers if possible, even if they are on trailers! :)

I just made my reservations at the Mandalay Bay Resort. I heard it's a real nice place and have always wanted to check it out. Made the reservation from the MCA site using their rates.

10-4.
I'll look at a travel route and see which way will be best.
Maybe I'll just drive it there too LOL

I usually go through Hotwire, they have some awesome rates.
December we stayed at the Rio ( they have suites for rooms ) at $42.00 a night.
SWEET deal !

Looking forward to the trip !

Vegas for me. No decision has been made on which car.

:)

Not an SSP owner but I plan on attending. I need to bring an SSP part that I pick up for an owner. :D

Charlotte I'm assuming since it's in your backyard?? :D

I look forward to meeting the VIN guru!! :thumbsup:

I will most likely NOT be attending either show in April 2014. Jack will be finishing up his Senior year in HS, and I cannot see getting away for either show a month before he finishes school. However, we may be able to participate in a Summer show after graduation.

Charlotte, yes. My in-laws live ~20 mi North so we'll probably go in the night before.

I got to do three laps at the 35th show. Maybe again this year? :D

Entertaining the thought
 

I am seriously entertaining the thought of bringing my 93 CHP Mustang to this event.

I say if you're on the fence, go for it...suspect it ill be the largest such event of its kind for the Mustang in the majority of our lifetimes.

50th Anniversary in Charlotte, BC April 16th to 21st, 2014
 

AWESOME EVENT !!!!

I just looked over the event website and while its not yet complete it does offer a glimpse of things to come.

Funny it mentions the fact that there will never be an event like this until the 100TH Anniversary in 2064 and that those attendees that are 15 years old will be 65 at the next one !! My son will be one of them, he can't wait.

Life is too short
 

What a shame. You sure theres no way?

I'm taking my son out of school for the event, he's a sophmore in HS. He can't wait and a show like this just can't be missed. He's a good kid with good grades and behaves himself. He will have just turned 16 and hopefully gotten his license. Whatever it costs I am going to get him some laps.These are the things our kids will remember for a lifetime.

When I was 12 my dad took me to see a friend of his up in Nazareth, PA. A guy by the name of Mario, yeah. THAT Mario and he taught me to drive right out back of his house. ( I was a big kid and could easily reach the pedals at 12 ) The next year he invited dad and I to watch him from the pits at Indy. wow. What a memory. Still fresh to this day.

Ten years ago I took my son, then 5 and his two older sisters to their very first concert, none other than the legendary WHO. Paid thru the nose and twisted a few arms to get seats in the pit, center stage. They NEVER forgot it, have been WHO fans ever since.

I realized that all the many hours I was putting in as a LEO was depriving me of my family and they of me. I just went in and pulled the pin. Just like that. We are put on this earth for a very, very short period of time and we need to make the most of it. Working and making money isnt everything. Enjoying time and making memories with those we love is what it's all about, That and tinkering with our SSP's.

Congrats Sarge !!! You are exactly right on that !!!
Life isn't about money, ( or cell phones ) Cell phones are a terrible epidemic in this country.

I am happy for you ! Enjoy life ! Simple is best !

Congrats !

Can we get an update on members headed for Vegas with cars? What I have so far:

Me - '88 CHP
John S. - '92 CHP
Jim Y. - ?
Andy - '85 CHP

Maybes:
Eric - '93 CHP
John B. - '93 CHP

Eric - do you have a read yet on any other SoCal cars coming over?

Is there a list for the Charlotte show as well? I heard something about possible group sections in the parking lot. Not sure about the details. I decided that I will be bringing my CHP!

You can add me to the "maybe" list with the 93 NHP.

I turned this thread into a Sticky, and modified the first post to include a list of attendees for each shows. We can revise this thread as the event draws closer. :)

But you didn't add the guys that said they were going to Charlotte?? Me included....lol :D just messin' with ya Bill!!

We shall see. It's too soon to tell at this point...


Haha! I got busy today and couldn't make the changes for Charlotte. They're added now ;)

Somebody needs their Jetsonic light bar, so I will be there. :D

I too will be at Charlotte with my 92 GSP & hopefully a certain 91 :-)

Mustang 50th Anniversary - Charlotte
 

I'll be there with my 93 NC SHP. Has anyone contacted the NC Highway Patrol about bringing the cars they have?

I'll be at Charlotte with my 92 PA SSP.

John

if i go anywhere it will be vegas. Maybe in the Shelby, or on a plane.

anywhere but Charlotte actually.

Wow........

I think Charlotte will be the ultimate! We've got quite a group going... I CAN'T WAIT PERSONALLY :-)

Hi Mike, I dont know of any from Southern California who will be attending. I dont believe I will be able to attend due to my Departments vaction scheduling for 2014.

Post #1 has been updated with attendees for each show. We can revise the lists as time passes.

Vegas Mustangs
 

This is Interesting

Me too! Just a few more odds and ends and #0327 will be ready for the trip. Hopefully we can get a caravan going from Atl.

Hopefully! I'll be traveling with a group of about 10 mustangs and we're hoping to grab Bobby on the way. So maybe we can snag you too!! :D
