So Powerama was this past weekend and if you missed it…well you missed a pretty decent display of cars!

There was a variety of vehicles on display, including one owned by our very own Les Hastey…who also made the Edmonton Journal…check it out in this link:

President’s Message – March 2010

President’s Message – March 2010

With spring fast approaching, I am starting to hear the call of the drag strip. In preparation for the disappearance of snow, I am changing out my stock shifter for one with a short throw. Hopefully, this will bring my times down into the low 12 second range. I am also looking at doing a couple of cosmetic things to enhance the look of my ride.

On that note, Rick and I attended another meeting of the “The Edmonton Race Experience”. This is the effort to coordinate and promote racing and everything to do with cars in and around Edmonton. Well, the month of July is going to be jammed packed with events leading up to the Indy.

If all goes well, there will be a number of show n’ shines, including our Healy show (July 10th), a Super Slalom
and Super Cruise, and a racing movie night. So, if you like cars, and I know you do, block off the month of July on the calendar and plan to four wheel it through. Once the schedule for this is finalized, we will get it out to you.

Speaking of schedules, this month marks the (re)start of the Saturday breakfast club. As I mentioned last
month, on the third Saturday of each month, we are going to host a brunch at Ricky’s Grill on Kingsway
Avenue at 11 a.m. (across from the Aviation Museum). The brunch is open to members, their families and
potential members. If you are interested let either Rick or I know so we can book enough space. I hope to see you out on March 20th.

One final thought, I’ve noticed that a lot of the things we do tend to be geared more towards the guys. I’d like to hear from the women who are members or affiliates about activities that the club might sponsor that would be value-added for them specifically.

Well, that’s about it for this month. Remember to check us out at www.amoaweb.com.

Cheers,
John Church, (a.k.a. Johnny Mustang)
AMOA Club President

Need a last minute Christmas present for the Mustang fanatic in your life?

From Mustang pool tables, children’s T-shirts and remote-controlled Raptor pickups, Ford is cueing up a sleigh full of gift items that are just in time for the last-minute holiday shopper.

Ford’s new line of licensed items will fit every budget – from $15 to $15,000. There’s a high-end Mustang pool table, a children’s line of JCPenney T-shirts, a 2010 Mustang calendar and even a dog collar with a seat belt buckle latch and matching leash.

The Mustang pool table is molded from a 1965 Mustang and can be ordered in any paint color. Complete with working lights, alloy rims and wheels and chrome decals, bumpers and hardware, this high-end Mustang replica looks like the real thing. The pool table can be ordered online at www.mustangpooltable.com or over the phone by calling 727.827.8268; it costs $14,995.

Two new styles of children’s T-shirts are available for $15.99 at JCPenney stores nationwide. One T-shirt, a Super Duty design, features a dump truck; the other has a Ford tractor with the phrase “Playin’ Dirty!” on it.

For those last-minute stocking stuffers, a 2010 Mustang wall calendar will help you keep track of your days, while showcasing the ever-popular pony car. With 13 pictures, covering the 1964-1/2 model to the 2010 Mustang, nothing was forgotten. The calendar can be ordered online from www.thetimefactory.com for $6.99.

And of course, we can’t forget our furry friends. Dog collars and leashes round out the selection of last-minute gifts for the holiday season. Logos available include Ford Trucks, Mustang, the Blue Oval™ and Built Ford Tough®. The collar retails for $25 and even comes with a miniature seat belt buckle that releases with the push of a button. The leash costs $22, and can be purchased online from www.beltsdirect.com.
