Attention Kansas City area Mustangers: We need your help to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Mustang and to introduce the 2005 Mustang to Kansas City!

At 3:00 PM on Thursday, July 1, Craftsman truck series driver Carl Edwards will run parade laps around the Kansas Speedway in a 2005 Mustang GT. To celebrate the Mustang's 40th Anniversary, we want Mustangs of all vintages to follow Carl around the track.

Any and all Mustangs are welcome. This is your chance to see the new Mustang up close and personal before it goes on sale this fall. It's also your chance to meet Carl, and drive on the banked oval at the Kansas Speedway. Oh, and we're inviting media to come out, so you just might see your car on the evening news. In addition, every one will receive a Mustang poster and pin in appreciation for their time.

We ask that drivers arrive at the Speedway by 2:45 pm. We will enter the track at 3:00 pm. We will stage the Mustangs at the Busch driver lot--see the attached map, or the directions below. Everyone must sign a waiver before accessing the track. To speed up the paperwork, please RSVP to mdoran@campbellco.com with your name, vehicle age and model.

One last request: Please forward this to anyone you know who might be interested in joining our celebration. All Mustang owners are invited!

If you have questions, please contact Monte at the e-mail address above, or Dave Marchand at the Mustang Club Center: 800-576-PONY, or dmarchand@minacsusa.com.

A bunch of the members of the Vintage Mustang Club of KC are going. I'll be out of town, but the wife is going to go and I'll make sure she takes the camera....
