66HIPO&more Gearhead Posts: 1740 From: SLC, UT Registered: Jul 99	posted 08-20-2001 02:00 PM It's over! I can take a deep breath and RELAX! Overall the show and associated events went very well. Weather was perfect. But a fire in the mountains near Heber City caused ash to fall over the town the last day - much like we experienced in Reno. About 130, give or take a couple, vehicles entered the show. There were some butt-heads discovered in the park with cars that were not registered. There was also a lot of Mustangs and nice Fords parked around the outside of the park - I think they were scoping things and out and we'll probably have them inside the park with us next year! Big D, our own Don was there in his friend's '55 bright yellow t-bird convertible which got photographed by Jim Smart. We found out three days before the show that Jim was coming. He photographed eleven cars from our event. He also participated in our Pony Trails and said he's going to do a write up on it. Our Pony Trails had over 30 cars, one of which almost fell off the mountain when a passing car wouldn't move over on the narrow road. The soft shoulder gave way leaving the poor stang hanging and balanced on its rear axle with passenger tires in the air. Fortunately no damage to driver and only minor dings and scratches to the underside of the 65 coupe. This scarey situation happened to poor Ron Bramlett Jr. Some of you may remember his blue and white striped pony in Reno. The P-51 Mustang photo session and flyover was a favorite among most of the participants. Even folks not able to make the show came to get a picture with the awesome plane. We had five cars entered in the show and all won trophies except the Bullitt. But it was not parked with its class so that was expected. We parked the Bullitt with a black one at the front of the park with the Special Edition vehicles like AC Cobras and Shelbys. All in all I am very happy with how things worked out. It was great for a first time event. We even made some money to prime our pot for next year. Don, thanks for coming! Joyce IP: Logged

We hope that you had some time to relax and enjoy all your efforts. Any pictures to share with us? Rest up for the next show. You will need it. Congrads on all the trophies. I finally got to scope out a Highland Green Bullit yesterday evening!

Big D Gearhead Posts: 1245 From: Wells, Nevada Registered: Nov 2000	posted 08-23-2001 07:07 PM The Utah Mustang Stampede was a GREAT SUCCESS... I have to admit, it was fun to sit back, relax and watch someone else STRESS OUT during THEIR show... Mike and Joyce did a great job... As always, she understated the show and the effort they put into it... Heber, Utah is an excellent town to hold a stampede... It's a small, beautiful community situated in a scenic valley surrounded by 10-11,000 foot mountains, approximately 15 miles from Park City, Utah... (and Deer Valley - for Alex...) The P-51 photo shoot was ... With the bright morning sun it really made for great pictures... Wish I would of had my 66 instead of that beat-up 55 TBird... The Pony Trail was well thought out.. We left Heber Valley down Provo Canyon to Sudance Ski Resort (which Robert Redford owns)... Took a break then proceded over Alpine loop which takes you up through the mountains on a road that was built during the man camp days of the great depression... It is one of the most scenic drives in the US... Once we got down in the Provo Valley, we had Lunch at Thanksgiving Point... A new Golf Course Complex designed by Johnny Miller... Travelled down to Provo and visited Kirkham's Motorsports where they actually build aluminum Cobras... Kirkhams is recognized by Carol Shelby... Here one you will like, From there advertizing brochure... "When Kirkham Motorsports set out to recreate the legendary Cobra, we followed one rule...if it doesn't belonng on an original, it doesn't belong on our car... So a big-block Chevy is not an option"... Let me tell you,,, those hi-po 427's don't sound tooooooo baaaaaad... Then we headed back up Provo Canyou to Bridal Vale Falls and to Heber... It was a great day... That night they had a really good dinner with big ol steak, salmon, or ribs... Yummmm The show and shine on Saturday was held at Heber City Park... Really nice Mustangs, Totally Cool 69 & 70 Mach I's and Bosses, Cobras, and Fords in General... Again,,, All I had was a beat-up 55 TBird... I wish I knew how to post a picture,,, so I could show you what I had to contend with all weekend... Anyway,,, I had a GREAT time,,, weather was supperb,,, and Mike, Joyce and Family were Hostsss with the Mostssss... This was my first all Ford show,,, But it won't be my last.... By the way,,, Jim Smart is a good guy... It will be interesting to see what he did for the show...
