First off let me apologize for
the lateness of this month’s
newsletter. I had asked Sharon
to hold off putting it out until
some issues were resolved.
Those have now been taken
care of so here’s the March
newsletter, but late than never.
The month of February was
another successful month for
our club. We held several
2010 BOSS 302 TracKey

events and had a great turnout

at all of them. The breakfast
get together on Feb. 5th at the
CALENDAR/Car Shows 7
Lafayette Firehouse and the
CLASSIFIEDS
7-8 Brewery Tour at AB-INBEV
was well attended. We had a
Mustang Club of
guest speaker, Dr. Wendell
St. Louis Board
Smith describe the trading
card program with the
President
Mike Herbert
Museum of Transportation.
There seemed to be a lot of

On Friday night, Feb. 18th a
large group of our members
gathered at Ted Drewes for
some tasty treats and good old
Bs’ing. We had a great turnout
for this last minute get
together. We had some new
members make the cruise
down from North County.
Jake and Laura Hillebrand
drove down in their 2003
Cobra Coupe. There was a lot
of interesting tales being told
in the parking lot as everyone
enjoyed the best custard in the
Midwest.
Our next event for
February was the cruise
over to Gallagher’s in
Waterloo, Illinois for an all
you can eat chicken dinner.
We had over 40 members
participate with about 20
cars in the caravan over.
We signed up a new
member, Rick Kastanetz
and promptly made a trip
over to his place to look at
all the vintage cars and
auto memorabilia he has
collected over the years.
You can check the website
for additional pictures of
the day’s activities.
We will again be involved
with
the Mustang
Roundup at the Museum
of Transportation on
Saturday April 2nd. This
event is held
in
conjunction with their
“Train Your Brain”
bookfair on the same
weekend. We are looking
for
everyone’s
participation in this great
event. So please make some
time available to bring your
pony out get involved with
the club. Our second
annual car show is fast
approaching on Saturday,
June 18th at the Museum
of Transportation. I’m
looking for all of our
members to get involved
and help put on a great show.
The potential is there for this
to really be a BIG show.
We’re looking for sponsors
along with goody bag stuffers
and attendance prize donations. If your new to the club
and what it takes to put on a
car show please don’t hesitate
to ask me or any other board
member. We can get you up
to speed very quickly.
The Activities Committee has
been very busy planning out
the rest of this year’s events.
There will be some additional
items added to the Club Calendar section of the website
in the near future. Please
check back often for those
updates.
One last thing, if you haven’t
renewed your club membership please do so by the end of
March. This will probably be
the last newsletter you’ll receive if your dues aren’t paid.
I’d hate to see anybody miss
out on all of the upcoming
activities that are being
planned. There’s an application attached to this newsletter.
Till next month…….”Keep
the Tradition Alive”

Camera Day
February 5, 2011
Regardless
o f
a
surprise
overnight
s n o w
shower,
m a n y
MCSTL
members
met
for
breakfast in
historic Lafayette Square at the Lafayette Fire Company.
Members enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and were able to
support the Backstoppers by rounding their breakfast
checks to the nearest whole dollar to benefit them and
the burn victims unit. The club hosted Dr. Wendell
Smith as the guest
speaker,
a
volunteer with the
Museum
of
Transportation,
to share details of
their
kids
programs and how
our club can
support them and
their association with the Museum. He explained the
MOT card club whose purpose is to encourage kids
interest in cars as a hobby and why it is so important to
get kids involved. You can check the museums website
for the kids site which is kidscardclub.org. If you would
like details on how you can participate in the trading card
program or to order your own trading cards, please
contact Terry Hunter at [email protected].
Trading cards for all members will use the same template.
Trading cards can be ordered up to March 11 for delivery
in time for the Mustang Round-Up. Each participating
Breakfast was followed
by a AH Brewery Tour
and a visit to stables
for
“Clydesdale
Camera Day.”
All the MCSTL
members were in awe
of the beautiful
Clydesdales.

CRUISE
February 27, 2011
Temps were starting to rise and MCSTL members
just couldn’t resist getting the ponies out to stretch
their legs as they dream of spring when the warm
days will bring lots of activities and opportunities to
“run.” After being cooped up all winter in the
garage, members met at Ted Drewes for ice cream on
Friday night, February 18.
Check out the MCSTL sponsored “Flat Mustang
Project” on the website
mustangclubofstl.com.
Members young and old
from Mustang Clubs from
all across the country can
participate.

2012 FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302
GETS RACING TRACKEY
Just the Facts:



2012 Mustang Boss 302 can be fitted
with a new aftermarket TracKey that
provides full race calibration and twostage launch control.
TracKey was developed by Ford
Racing and the Mustang engineering
team.
It's an aftermarket option from Ford
dealers.
Just something for MCSTL members, the Nahliks, to consider
DEARBORN, Michigan — Want to race that Mustang and then drive it peacefully home? Ford dealers can help
you with that. The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 can be fitted with a new aftermarket TracKey that provides full race
calibration and two-stage launch control, all without threatening the factory warranty.
Ford has created a dual-path powertrain control module — an industry first, it says — that lets the racing application exist alongside a street application in the same car. Ford says it was dreamed up during "an all-night garage
brainstorming session among core Mustang team members" and adds that a patent is pending on the technology.
The TracKey powertrain control software is accessed using a specially programmed vehicle key. It "coexists" with
the original Boss software and key, so the driver can choose between street or track use simply by selecting
which key to put into the ignition. The TracKey is red, while the standard Mustang Boss 302 key is black.
TracKey was developed by Ford Racing and the Mustang engineering team. The TracKey powertrain control
module alters more than 200 engine management parameters to increase torque, add aggression to the throttle
response, preserve brakes when decelerating and do lots of other track-friendly things. There's also a two-stage
launch control feature "similar to that used on the Cobra Jet racecar," Ford notes, which lets the driver set the
tachometer needle to a desired launch rpm for better acceleration and vehicle control from a standing start.
When using the Mustang with the black key, the factory engine settings are restored for street driving, says Ford.
It'll be available through Ford Racing authorized dealers, but pricing has not yet been announced.
Inside Line says: The image of the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other, symbolized by the red and
black car keys, does come to mind. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent
