I've registered in the Roush Corral, I thought you had to be in the gate by a certain time? I'd love to cruise in with you guys..
As for the 05 and newer, you can only be in the display only classes because MCA does concours judging and only allow cars 3 years old and older to be judged. Dont get me started on this point.
See ya there!

http://www.mustang.org/specialevents/MCA.cfm?Judging
The '05 has Open and Closed Judges Choice classes not Display Only classes. The '06 has the same. There is even a class for the '07 Shelby GT 500. Your vehicle can't be newer than a 1996 to be in Concourse Judging. All other years are Judges Choice classes. I obtained the info straight from the MCA 30th Anniversary Judging Classifications page.
For National MCA Shows, the normal classification for 2006 indicates that the 2005 - 2006 are in Division XII Current Years and are judged based on popular vote.
So you see, MCA welcomes you with open arms no matter what model or year you have. There are opportunities for all years for judging.
Hope this clarifies things.

Friday MY car will be the only one going in the caravan(phoneguy has to work so far, kids have school)
Saturday we will all 4 be there to spectate and drool over the goods.
Sunday is tentative.

It's funny you said '78, since it wasn't that long ago, all the Mustangs clubs had their cut-off at '73. It took the popularity of the 87-93 Fox bodies to bring the '74-'78 Mustang II's into the picture.

I'm sorry to hear you feel that the local MCA is not interested in any Mustang built after 1978. I of course don't live in Florida, but I know that is not the opinion of MCA. Membership is open to all Mustang enthusiasts - they don't even have to own a Mustang, and they welcome and embrace all model years and makes. It is the goal of MCA to continue the interest, enjoyment and development of the Mustang hobby. Your $30 Annual Membership fee gives you discounts on hotels, rental cars, etc., discounts at all of their National and Grand National Shows, a monthly subscription to Mustang Times and if you enjoy driving events, they have opportunties for those as well.
I personally enjoy Mustang Times. They have good articles that range from information on the featured Members' rides of the month - including newer Mustangs, to technical articles regarding restoration or modifying your Mustang - no matter what model or year you own. The magazine also has a good forum for answers to your questions, and, if you want a part or need to sell part, advertising for Members for a non-business ad is free! A lot of businesses advertise as well. With Mustang Times you have a great information source.
The only thought I can offer, is that if you don't feel that MCA is supportive, then join and change it! MCA is one of the largest and longest running organizations for a specific vehicle, the Mustang, and believe me when I say that the "squeaky wheel gets the grease". Business listens to the collective, organized majority before they listen to a individuals. Just look at what is going on in Washington with Political Action Committees (PAC's - Lobbyists). Look at the AARP or the NRA and what they as a group can accomplish! That if nothing else, should be reason enough to belong to MCA - to have a voice! MCA is a member-owned organization and members have a voice and a say in anything and everything that they do. So if you would like to see change, then join MCA and let your voice be heard. Stop by MCA's tent and talk to other MCA members, Board Members, Staff Members - and if you have a concern, problem, question or a suggestion, let them know. Don't be shy. They'll be glad to hear from you. They want the club membership to continue to grow because that will help to ensure that the Mustang legend continues to live on.
Many of our fellow TMSers who live in California are fighting with government over attempts to regulate car hobbies making it virtually impossible to own, maintain or restore vintage cars. Now, you might say, "but I have a new Mustang so that does not apply to me."

In recent days, Ford has had to announce sad news, cut backs in production, plant closings, dealership closings, etc. I recently read a list of production model cut backs and from I saw, the Mustang was not on it. Yet in reality, Mustang is not their big money maker - per vehicle. Mustang is their "get them in the door vehicle to look at the rest of the Ford line-up". By being a part of a large voice that Ford doest listen to, you will help keep the Mustang going. Just think, if Camaro had a large club like MCA, maybe they would be around still for us to kick their hiney!

I will meet you guys at Vulcan at 9am on Friday. I'm driving over Thursday night from Atlanta. I'm registered for open track on Friday but I haven't been given a time slot yet. Hopefully it will be in the afternoon so I can hang with TMS in the morning. Looking forward to it!

Yea, the track would be interesting. If it rained and I was going on track(expressly forbidden by my hubby) I would be all over the place.

So I can assure everyone that if you have a 2005 or a 2006, there are seperate classes for you as well.

Is it possible to swap over to a judged class from a display class? I guess that's my next question.
Thanks, Doug.
