Ford Motor Co. and The Mustang Club of America have announced that the Mustang 50th Anniversary drives to either Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speed will commence from Norman, Oklahoma, on April 13.
The groups will cruise over four days and will make four stops on their way. The Las Vegas Pony Drive will stop in Amarillo (Texas), Albuquerque (New Mexico) and Flagstaff Arizona), while the Charlotte Pony Drive will be hosted in Little Rock (Arkansas), Nashville (Tennessee) and Asheville (North Carolina).
“The official Mustang 50th anniversary celebration will kick off in the middle of the country so people can enjoy these pony cars as they were intended to be used, ‘on the road,’” said Ronald D. Bramlett, executive director of the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration. “We believe this will be the largest group of Mustangs traveling together in the world.”
• Wednesday, April 16 – The first official day of the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration will feature vendors and exhibits as Pony Drives and members arrive
• Thursday, April 17 – MCA will conduct opening ceremonies followed by a host of activities and exhibits including track time, Ford’s Ride & Drives and hot laps, car displays, vendors and historical displays celebrating Mustang’s 50th
• Friday, April 18 – Activities continue, with a themed dinner
• Saturday, April 19 – The festivities will follow the same pattern as Friday; Saturday evening will feature the Saturday Night Banquet, with guest speakers
• Sunday, April 20 – Easter Sunrise Services will be held early morning at both tracks; parade laps around the speedways and closing ceremonies
