Car Show—Almost Here!!!
Dear Pierce County Mustang Club Member,
In 2007 my husband, Larry, and I joined Pierce County Mustang Club. We have been to a lot of
cruises, car shows, general meetings, holiday gatherings, club picnics, Friday night dinners, executive committee meetings, car show meetings – you name it, we have been to it. We keep renewing
our club membership due to the great members. I continue to be involved with the car show due to
all the help we can give to PCMC charities.
Every year Nancy, our club’s treasurer and membership director, gives out a club roster. I see a lot
of names of members I know, some I have never met, and some I have not seen in a few years.
Last year the car show committee set a goal to get our Founding/Charter members involved at the
car show, we had 8 shows up! Most of them have not been to a show in over 10 years – they enjoyed seeing and meeting old and new members, they had a great time and promised to come back
in 2016.
Well, this year the car show committee has set a new goal, and we need your help! We are inviting
YOU to come to the Pierce County Mustang Club All Mustang and Ford Show on August 14th at
Griot’s Garage. You can stop by and say “Hi” and check out what PCMC is up to, we would love to
see you. If you really want to - bring out the Mustang and show it. Come find me, I would love to put
a face to a name.
We all love to share and see the Mustangs. You joined PCMC for some reason – come to the car
show (or any other event, there are a lot to choose from – check out the website at
www.piercecountymustangclub.com) and hang out with us!
Thanks for your time!

this event.

TOO COOL EVENT
John Clor the “world’s” leading Mustang II enthusiast is organizing the first ever Mustang II national gathering set for August 19-21 at Ford’s own Product Development
Center in Dearborn, Michigan.
What better time to stage the event than in the 40th anniversary year. It will be held in
conjunction with the Mustang Owners Club of South Eastern Michigan’s annual Mustang Memories show as well as on the same weekend as Detroit’s famed Woodward
Dream Cruise. As John says, “It just doesn’t get any better than that”.
One of the highlights will be “Dinner with the II Designers” set for the evening before
Woodward, fans can meet and mingle with some of the car’s original designers after a
special Mustang II presentation. Plus, later get your car judged by actual Mustang II
designers and Ford VIPS.
Go to www.toocoolevents.com learn more about the show, registration and hotel
availability.
Look for the flyer
for September’s
Cruise to NW
Trek in this
newsletter. Don’t
miss the fun!

Mustang of the Month
Hank and Margie Deck
2014 Race Red Coupe
My current Mustang
is a 2014 3.7L, V6
Race Red Coupe I
purchased in April,
2015. My son
promptly christened
her ‘Charlene’. I
joined the PCMC a
few months later. My
wife, Margie, and I
have enjoyed our
time with the PCMC
so far and look forward to future club events.
My first Mustang was a 1966 3-speed black
coupe I bought in 1969 when I was a student at
Bowling Green University in Ohio. Over the
years I’ve owned several sports cars including
two Corvettes, a Chrysler Crossfire, and a Saturn Sky Convertible. In 1998, I purchased my
second 1966 Mustang with the aim of restoring
it; however, after several years of work on it, I
had to let it go due a company transfer. In
2015, after driving a Lincoln MKZ for several
years, I decided it was time to go back to the
Mustang. ‘Charlene’ is a great car and I look
forward to driving her for many years to come.
Hank Deck
PS—Congratulations on your selection as Mustang of the Month. We look forward to you,
Margie, and “Charlene” joining us for many
events in the future.

Informational Article: Modified or Stock (reprint)
As requested, here is a reprint from last July.
Modified or Stock is sometimes a confusing topic as
each show is a little different. I asked Charlene Rivera, our car show Co-Chair and she gave me
some tips. I also, as usual, borrowed information
from another Car Club Newsletter, Kitsap Mustang
Club (with permission).
The following are guidelines that may help you decide. However, as I have said, it varies from show to
show so it is best to ask at each one.
At some shows they use the guideline that if your
car has three or more significant and visible items
(examples listed below) then it should be registered
in a modified class. Our show uses five. It is pretty
standard that if your car is personalized, it is modified.
Clubs also look at modifications differently with
some counting engine modifications as individual
mods and others counting dress-up modifications to
the engine as one mod. Our club uses the guideline
that what came out of the Ford Factory is stock.
Some dealerships will add modifications. Our club
uses a mix of Kitsap, Mustangs NW, Mustangs
West, and MCA. Here are some guidelines to modifications:
Paint – obvious custom paint jobs, including murals
(i.e., flames, graphics, stripes, etc.)
Body Work – all body alterations, addition of flares,
spoilers, air dams, hood scoops (non-stock), ground
effects, etc. (Note: a complete body kit, such as a
Saleen kit, which includes front and rear spoilers
and side skirts will put that Mustang automatically
into the modified class)
Under the Hood – Chrome dress up kits, plating or
powder coating of parts, special wiring harness, non
-stock coolers, non-stock superchargers/
turbochargers, blowers, nitrous
Chrome – blacked out with color or black trim treatment or chrome removed and panels filled
Interior – custom or aftermarket seats, custom upholstery work, custom steering wheels or consoles,
gear shifter changes, additional (non-stock) tachometer or other gauges, roll bars or other related safety equipment.
According to the Kitsap Mustang Club article, modification lists serve as a means to “Level the Playing
Field” for all involved and is for guidance only. Everyone at one point or another will make a few modifications to their Mustang and there is nothing
wrong with that. But, it is difficult to fairly judge a
bone stock V-6 coupe against a GT with a Saleen
Body Kit, Bullet Interior, over-sized aftermarket rims
and tires, and a supercharger (or vice versa) in the
same class. From what I have seen this seems to
be true at most shows.
So take stock of your car, talk to the club sponsoring the show you are entering, and mark your entrance accordingly.
Have fun and enjoy showing your car. I am personally looking for the classification for the funniest
sign….
Thank you to:
KCM and Charlene Rivera for information for the
article.
(See the next page for the list of modifications for
our show in August.)
See you on the road...don’t forget to wave!

July Events
The month started out full of events for the 4th
of July. We had members at the Vintage Races
on the 2nd and JBLM on the 4th.
We had quite a herd
show up at the South
Hill Panera to gallop up
to Pacific Raceways for the Vintage Vehicle
Races on Saturday, July 2nd.
There were more
than a dozen of us
parked in the car
corral representing Pierce County
Mustang Club.
We arrived early enough to claim prime spots to
watch the races and catch up with each other.
One of the racers was the cousin of club member, Bryan Zimbelman. It was even more exciting to have a “connection” with one of the racers on the track.
(Continued on next page)
Pony News August 2016
4th of July at Vintage Races and JBLM (continued)
Whether they wandered the pits, checked out
the vendors, watched the races from our vantage spot or walked across the track during
heats, went
out during the
lunch break
for parade
laps or made
donations to
be a passenger in one of the professionally driven BMW’s,
everyone had a great time.
A big thank you to Tim Gwyn for organizing this
fun annual event again this year.
While a few members relaxed after the races,
some cruised on
out to JBLM for
their annual car
show on the 4th.
The club had 5
cars at this event
where Bill Norman
took a 2nd Place.
This show is like a country fair with cars and
good food. There was a live band and lots of
happy people.
Thank you Jerry Murphy for the great pictures
from both events and to Missy Willert for the
Vintage Racing write-up. See even more of the
photos on Photobucket which you can get access from our club website.

Mt. Saint Helens Cruise
July 17
wasn’t special enough, their Mustang was so despondent that they would trade her for another vehicle to finish the cruise, that when they got home, the
brakes were cool and they caught up and finished in
the original Stang.
Greg took some great shots at the photo spot. Lots
more shots are on photobucket. Don’t forget to look.
As we were traveling today along this gorgeous
cruise, I had this “WOW” moment. It came as we
were winding around the mountain and over the river across the bridges. I looked out in front of our car
and in the rear view mirror and it was Mustangs as
far as my eye
could see. My
eye may have
missed a couple
of stray SUV’s
but it is known to
do that. I just
bins put together.
thought “WOW,
this is really
cool.” It felt like it
was something
special as we all
traveled along
this great cruise
that Greg Rob-
We had 21 cars (all but one a Mustang) and lots of
members and prospective members. We were able
to stay together, for the most part, the entire trip with
4 stops, then lunch, then a photo opportunity, before
the Observatory and heading home.
The people in this club have always been a special
draw. We had close to 40 people. Everyone looked
to me like they were having a great time. As always,
there were stories and adventures and food (always
food). This time we brought our own picnics. Most of
us did. We are putting a string on Lee’s lunch so that
next time he makes one, it actually gets into the car
with him. And Bill and Carol...it is something special
when you leave a cruise part way through because
of brake issues, go home to get another vehicle and
catch up with us to continue the cruise. And if that
PS—Too Good to leave out.
Adventure with Mr. Ugly from Josh & Natasha:
Mr. Ugly had a great cruise up to Mt. St. Helens. No
issues at all. On the way back, about 40 miles outside of the park, my wife and I looked at each other
as we both smelled fuel. I pulled over and verified
that the main fuel line on top of the tank had ruptured. With no cell service, we were forced to push
on. Less than a mile away, we started to spit and
sputter. We found refuge in a private driveway with
“no trespassing” signs and chickens everywhere. We were greeted by a helpful man with no
tools. He offered me his driveway if I could find
some tools. Shortly after, one of his buddies walked
out and said that he had some tools. “Tools” was an
exaggeration. He had a socket with no ratchet, a
multi-tool, and a screwdriver. He offered to go get
me some fuel line while I dropped the fuel
tank. Within one hour, Mr. Ugly was back on the
road and I smelled heavily of gasoline and chicken
poo! We found this nice little barbecue joint with no
bathroom. Me and the wife ate a delicious dinner,
while Mr. Ugly soaked up the sun. The rest of the
drive was uneventful, thankfully!

FNDO—Buttered Biscuit in Bonney Lake
I have never seen so
much food!!!!! I was
going to take a picture of Karen’s Cinnamon
Roll French Toast, but my mouth kept watering
and my arm wanted to grab a fork rather than
the camera. YUMMMMM.
No one left hungry from this FNDO. We had 15
members show up and most of them left with

came
out to Lakewood Ford to show their cars. This
was our biggest turn out so far. The staff at

lunch for us. Members had the afternoon to
catch up with each other while customers and

their favorite one. In addition, we had 7 more

just happens. The
Lakewood
