President’s Message – July 2010

Well we kicked into high gear this month. In addition to the regular monthly ice cream run and brunch, which drew around a dozen members each, we co-hosted a poker run to Bruce with the Corvette club and an ice cream run to Devon with the T-Birds (over twenty members at both of these events). I was amazed at the quality of the meal at the Bruce Hotel. Apparently, they bring people in by the bus load on weekends. As it was, we had to clear out by 7 p.m. because buses with 200 people were arriving for the second sitting. As far as I am concerned, this should be a new annual event. I also spotted our members at the Crystal Kids and Children’s Wish shows and know we were also at the 99 Street Church Show. As part of the Race Week Edmonton initiative, we also had members participating in the Edmonton Airfest Show N Shine.

The Club continued to make its presence known out at Castrol Speedway for the Friday Night Street Legals as well. While Bob and “Mean Green” were busy blowing the doors off the new Hemis, a number of our members were signing people up in the staging area and in the stands. The number of members starting to sport club colours at the track and other events is also impressive. We are gradually becoming a sea of blue and black at major car events. We have also been working hard to promote our upcoming club events at all of these locations. The members have been working and playing hard!

While there were lots of things going on locally, there were also events happening out of town. One that I caught was the Show N Shine out in Hinton. I made a day trip out to visit with one of our new members and enjoy the hospitality of the Hinton car enthusiasts. Along the way, I managed to sign up another new member, Alain, and his 2010 Shelby GT 500. Alain travelled to the Shelby plant to meet the great man himself and was even given the honour of driving an original GT 500 on the Shelby test track. Now that’s a story! We are hoping to build more linkages with Hinton in the coming year and maybe co-host some sort of event out that way. By the way, we hit the 200 member mark this month J

Just a reminder that our fourth ice cream run will be happening on Monday, July 12thth , departing from Healy Ford at 7.30; destination TBA. On the 15th we are co-hosting a show n shine with the Corvette Club at the Aviation Museum (6-10 P.m.). Instead of the Saturday Brunch at Ricky’s, the Shanleys are hosting the Klondike Pancake Breakfast on July 17th. Our monthly meeting will be taking place in the Healy Ford boardroom on Monday July 19th. Also remember, we will be doing a slalom event with the Corvettes on July 24th. There are also a large number of car events happening throughout July, so check out the Race Week Edmonton website at http://raceweekedmonton.com/ for details.

Next month is the Freedom Ford Show so Rick, who is quarterbacking the event, will be working hard to make that show as successful as it was last year. Stay tuned and remember to check us out at www.amoaweb.com .

President’s Message – June 2010

Drag racing season started to kick in for me this month. I was out to the track to test out the new short throw shifter and thanks to Dale, one of our new members, I was able to shoot some video footage for the next You Tube video. I also took Dale for a passenger run and he is now recovering  The video also served a useful technical purpose because I noticed from this and previous footage that I have rear wheel hop happening. The solution appears to be changing out the control arms, which is now underway.

We held our second ice cream run with 15 club members on May 10th, destination, the Dairy Queen over by the Manning Freeway. We then met with 20 club members for our Saturday brunch on the 15th at Ricky’s by the municipal airport. So the numbers at these events are growing on a monthly basis. Remember, if you are planning to attend the monthly brunch, please let Rick know so that we can reserve the space. Otherwise, someone ends up having to wait until a table becomes free. We are literally taking over the restaurant one table at a time!

At the monthly meeting we discussed making some changes to the club structures. In essence, we want to begin looking at doing some advance planning for our social events, keeping in better touch with our members, acknowledging the contributions of members and creating a variety of products (hats, tee-shirts, etc.) that might be used to market the club. Finally, we want to create a vibrant homepage so that we can show off all the great things that the club is doing. Stay tuned for a follow up e-mail to start getting you involved in this process.

One final note about the monthly meeting, an award of recognition was presented to Albert for his extraordinary efforts to sign up new members. (This is where I got the idea that maybe we should recognize more club members for the special things they do for us all).

Just a reminder that our third ice cream run will be happening on Monday, June 14thth , departing from Healy Ford at 7.30; destination TBA. Our fourth Saturday brunch will be happening at Ricky’s by the municipal airport on Saturday, May 19th. Our monthly meeting will be taking place in the Healy Ford boardroom on Monday May 21th. Other important events this month include the Children’s Make a Wish Show N Shine on the 13th and the Devon Cruise on the 24th. and the Poker Run to the Bruce Hotel on the 26th with the Corvette Club. For both of these events, we still need approximate numbers so please let Rick know.

Next month is the Healy Show so Daryl and Rick who are quarterbacking the event are helping me to track down Mark to finalize the details. If it is like past years, the Show promises to offer a great cross section of awesome Fords, tons of people and great prizes, so mark your calendars! We hope to see you out at this month’s events and look forward to continuing to see you at our events throughout the season. Stay tuned and remember to check us out at www.amoaweb.com .

2010 International Mustang Meet Update

Hello everyone from the Ford Central Car Club, here is the latest update we are sending out to give all 2010 International Mustang Meet registrants and potential registrants a heads up as to what we have been doing while preparing to host the 2010 International Mustang Meet in Red Deer Alberta this coming September 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2010. We will also be posting updates on our club web page as well, please feel free to access it at www.fordcentral.ca.

First of all for anyone who does not already know the Host Hotel is the Capri Convention Centre located on the south hill of Red Deer, their web page link is www.capricentre.com and their toll free phone # is 1-800-662-7197. At this time they have approx 180 rooms already reserved for the International Mustang Meet which is pretty much our sold out block for the hotel, I have talked with the management and they do have a limited number of rooms (maybe 20 or 30) which is outside of our 180 room block that you can still phone in and reserve, these rooms are rooms that the hotel did hold back for there regular customers but they will still rent them out to the public but just remember these rooms are outside of our International Room Block , if you do not wish to stay at the host hotel or you cannot obtain a room at the Capri there is 2 alternative hotels listed on our registration form which is also attached to this email , but please book your hotel as soon as possible and advise all other potential attendees to do the same.

The actual show will also be held in the Host Hotels parking lot. As far as registration numbers go as of today we have approximately 176 cars already preregistered, there is a registration form attached to this email, please feel free to print it and forward it to as many people as you can, also as everyone knows we cannot express enough how important it is for everyone to submit their preregistration forms as soon as possible so that as a host club we can get as much lead time as we can as to planning and laying out our parking lot and numbers of cars per class , PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PREREGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !

The draw for the Free Hotel Room was won by Brian Scarrow of Calgary, thank you Brian for preregistering and congratulations on winning the room. We are working with the hotel and trying to obtain another free room and if we succeed we will make another draw out of all of the preregistered cars as soon as we know for sure.

So far all the plans with the hotel seem to be proceeding in good order and as of this time they have been more than accommodating and willing to work with us to meet our every need, we are also in the final stages of setting our events schedule, as soon as we have it finalized we will be posting it on our web page. We also have our committees working on and putting the final touches on the trophies, and dash plaques, sponsorship and door prizes is also proceeding as planned and is on going. Hopefully by the time we send out our June update we will have the finalized events agenda for everyone to review. Please feel free to email or phone us with any questions, concerns or suggestions at anytime. We are all looking so forward to seeing everyone at this meet and encourage everyone preregister, prebook your hotel rooms and contact us with any questions, concerns or suggestions. Thanks again from FORD CENTRAL and we are so looking forward to seeing everyone in September!

Powerama 2010

Deb — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:38:06 +0000

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:

Look for some pic’s of Les’ car and a few of our Club display coming soon!

President’s Message – April 2010

April 2010 AMOA President’s Message

Wow, the month of March has come and gone in the blink of an eye. I spent most of the month out of the province and everywhere I looked I saw Mustangs! While in Hawaii, I discovered that the car-of-choice for the Waikiki Police Department was, yes, the Mustang! It was literally Hawaii 4.6. With the remake of Hawaii 5 O already underway, I expect to see the 2011 Mustang 5.0 showing up. To top off the trip to Hawaii, we rented a Mustang convertible to drive up to the north coast to see the big surf. As if that wasn’t enough, when we were skiing in BC last weekend, what did I find at the top of the hill but a run called…Mustang Sally. I think someone is trying to tell me that car season is close!

With that in mind, Rick and I have been busy getting things rolling and firming up the rest of the schedule. Our first Saturday brunch at Ricky’s by the municipal airport attracted six members and two potential members. As a result of the conversation that we had over brunch, we decided to take the plunge and enter a club display in this year’s Powerama (April 23-25). So come on out and say hi and take a look at the five members’ vehicles that will be part of the display, not to mention all the other cool rods that will be part of the show. Leading up to Powerama, we will be hosting our first Ice Cream Run of the year on April 12th. We will be meeting at Healy Ford at 7.30 and going from there. All you need to do to participate is show up with a vehicle; mustangs are not required. We are also sponsoring our second Saturday Brunch at Ricky’s on April 17th. If you let Rick know you are coming we can try to get a group of tables reserved.

Finally, the effort to coordinate and promote racing and everything to do with cars in and around Edmonton that I was telling you about last month was officially launched during the last week of March. We are part of that initiative too. Check out the link to the story … http://www.edmontonjournal.com/life/Edmonton+start+your+engines+Race+Week+2010/2749610/story.html

While we are still working on a few additions to our standard car show events at Healy and Freedom, we’ve warmed up the tires and are ready for an action-packed season. Stay tuned and remember to check us out at www.amoaweb.com .

Cheers,
John Church (a.k.a. Johnny Mustang)
