I think there is a big Mustang event in Red Deer every few years. Someone else may know more.

I will try and make it to the Peg this year and closer to spring there may be a list somewhere

Western Stangs
 

Snakebite if you decide to go to thePeg, give me a heads up and we can convoy out if you like. Do a stop over here if it suits your plans and then head onto the Peg.

Absolutely.. if anyone in Alberta has any Shows & or Road Events they know of in 2012 ...would love to do a road trip.

Western Stangs
 

If anyone hits this thread..have any of you been able to contact rhe Manitoba Mustang Club re the International?
I have been trying for weeks..leave messages..no one calls back or e mails.

Either the site I amhitting is messed up or there is no one home....
If anyone canhelp, I am trying to find out what events they may be having..ie..autocross..drags..etc..

Thanks :banghead:Kojak

Here's the site to download the registration info.

There are 5 or 6 of us in the Hat planning on going.

Thanks Ronnie that was what I was afraid of...there are no other activities besides basically a car show. No Drags..no road course...pretty boring after Spokane...
Well thanks anyway...I am going to opt for going to Sturgis..it is only a few hours further...a nicer drive..Custers Stand & the Mt Rushmore stuff..and there is a 10 mile windy road called .."Iron Mountain Road" a 16 mile windy twisty roadway like nothing you have experienced..takes about 40-50 minutes and then you are pushing it..... and in addition at the show there is a heck of a lot more things to participate in..

I wonder if the bunch of us in Western Canada couldn't put on something like Sturgis..in a smaller way..get events like a drag strip..road course..pony rodeo..launch box...besides a Show & Shine..
There has to be a place in Alberta or Sask. that has the facilities...any ideas??

:tup

Keep us up to date Ronnie

megaford weekend in Mission BC is 2 days of ford drag racing with a car show on the sunday. its the weekend after labour day

^^same as the International unfortunately

Shows
 

Yep..Sturgis.this one...the International..all at the same time..too bad they didn't try to split up the dates more:mad:

that would be nice

international has been on labour day weekend for 32 years....its only in winnipeg every 12 or 14 years...the next two afterwards are bozemon montana and vancouver BC

International
 

Those next two locations sound inviting.
I only hope they realize that a lot of folks, perhaps not all, that drive a long distance want to do something more than sit around at a show & shine with their Mustangs.
I know there are different ..shall we say "Camps"..some of the older cars are not set up for road course..drags..launch box..rodeo..tire change...even poker runs...but there are getting to be more and more newer cars that are.
It would be an option I would have available for an International If I were to organize one.

Just a thought

Alberta
 

Anyone interesetd in a meet in Alberta?

Road trip
 

Personally, if there is some organization with a little lead time it would be great to get these cars out for meets withing reasonable distances over a weekend.
I would be game if the intent was to get out of towners to come for a little weekend fun. Alberta is so central you could get some interest from both sides of the province.
I did a mini one for Challengers last year and had 11 cars show up for a fun weeken, with BBQ..Scavenger hunt..meet and greet and tied it into a local Show & Shine..everyone said they really enjoyed the little mini event.

If it was just a daily meet I am sure there are lots of locals who would attend. Give it a shot!:tup

I am game if in town, not much of a drive lol

not every city has a drag strip close to the show site...when the international is in vancouver in 2014 there wont be any drag racing as the track is used for other events that weekend..there might be a friday night street legal drags though from 5pm till 10pm but with the kegger party at the hotel friday night and the car show saturday morning dont think many will drive an hour plus each way from the show site to the drag strip in mission.

Internationa Van
 

Oh well, guess there will be othere events to go to. There again maybe the Vancouver crew will put some other interesting things together for additional draw/fun...autocross.tire change..launch box..rodeo...slow drags..etc
Kojak:D

I would be interested in an Alberta meet, and if try to make as central as possible for all wester stangs, maybe we could attract some of the members from as far as Sak/MB to BC. Lemme Know, I'll be there with the new mistress.:tup

Meet
 

Sounds good Dub..just need someone to get the thing organized....hint ..hint...anyone out there..hello....:wiggle:
Kojak

Does that mean your volunteering???

Western Stangs
 

Cute!...I did it for the Challenger SRT8 group in S'toon last year and it was a blast...if any one needs ideas ...like the song says.."Call Me"..
I will attend for sure...
Kojak & BBYE :chacha:

I think we need to first figure out the where and when, and then get a local member to organize it. I could set something up in Lloyd, I'm sure, but don't know if we would get a proper turn out here. I was thinking sometime in June or July in either Edmonton or Red Deer.....What does everybody think about that?:?

meet
 

June is a good dte as no bugs yet for travel...not too far for lots of the Major center...sort of in the middle...I'm up for any june date..
Kojak:D

I would gladly do the Red Deer thing or even lloyd for that matter

I hope to make it to a few shows this summer but it just never seems to work out. Not sure about driving my car too far with 4.10's and an off road pipe either

ah come on man, if I go you had better lol

Yeah I'm gonna try. It would be cool to try and get the majority of our Alberta members all to a show. I heard there is a good one in Slave Lake.

Meet
 

Do you have any idea how from Slave Lake is from Civilization as we know it..???..ohhh yes you live there..opps..LOL:D

But like was mentioned, LLoyd or the like is sort of central for Edmnt..Calgary..Red Deer...S'toon...and still not too far for Slave Lake..Lethbridge.....Regina...Moose Jaw....just a thought.
It would be a fun Western Prairies Event!!

Kojak:chacha:

Yes but why not let everyone experience the North first hand. :LOL:

Western Stangs
 

Ok..Sure..but no bugs!!.... :rolleyes:

Fort Mac is as far north as I have been

I've been to Fort Mac four times in the last two months, to meet with a customer, and honestly that was four times too many! I hate that place, and the traffic is absolutely retarded:banghead:

I have not been since the last century

It was probably a nice place at that time...not anymore!

I will stay away then, thanks for the heads up lol

anyone in the lower mainland BC, there is a mustang meet in langley bc on sunday march the 25th, at the Kal Tire location on the Langley bypass at 11am. 20520 Langely bypass to be exact, hope anyone that is free can make it out

here here^^^

Anyone heard of any member meets in or around calgary in the spring
