STANG Magazine Special Edition: Carlisle Ford Nationals 2024

Mustang enthusiasts have asked for a magazine that has no ads, no sales pitches, and no bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They have asked for a magazine that is free, easy to access, and nothing but focused on Mustang pictures and content. They have asked for a magazine produced and written by Mustang owners. They have asked for a magazine that highlights the daily drivers and the average Mustang that is driven and is not a trailer queen. They have asked for the chance to one day have their ride, their group, their club, or their cause to be recognized in print or online. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you STANG Magazine. We hope that both our message and our image will be seen in every Mustang community out there. Thank you Mustang fans and enjoy your ride! - Daniel Ramey, Editor-In-Chief

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

SINCE DAY ONE, CARLISLE FORD NATIONALS FOR ALL OF US HAS BEEN A GIANT FAMILY REUNION.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

Family reunion. That is the first thing you need to know about Carlisle Ford Nationals. It is never about who is on display, what vendors are there, or who takes what award. It is ALWAYS about the PEOPLE you meet and the PEOPLE who own these beautiful machines. Since day one, Carlisle Ford Nationals for all of us has been a giant famiy reunion. We look forward to seeing each other more than we do about seeing the Mustangs.

As with every year, walking around the show field is a trip down memory lane. You run into all of your friends from far and wide and reflect on all the years that you have been coming to this small town called Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As far as the eye can see, there is every year, make, and model of Ford automobiles, especially Mustangs. It is a sea of colorful, gleaming beauty.

Carlisle Ford Nationals has become a staple to the Mustang enthusiasts on the East Coast. However, Mustang enthusiasts from all over the country attend this event. We have met owners from as far as California, Alaska, and Canada. There are die hard Mustang fans and then there are DIE HARD Mus-

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

tang fans. For 50 years, Carlisle Events has been putting on this show and many others throughout the spring and summer. There is no other event like it in the world.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!

THE MIDWAY IS THE MONSTER OF PLACES TO BE WHEN ATTENDING CARLISLE FORD NATIONALS.

There are very few events that you can attend where you can meet just about every powerhouse in the Mustang industry. From celebrities to famous drivers, from company Presidents to aftermarket vendors, from everything Mustang related small or large, the Midway at Carlisle Ford Nationals is the hottest spot to be in the Mustang world every year.

This year was epic when it comes to the who’s who of the Mustang world. In attendance were Ford Performance, Shelby American Inc., Saleen, Roush Performance, Cruise For A Cause, Fathouse Performance, CJ Pony Parts, Duncan Brothers, Modify My Stang, and famous drivers including Vaughn Gittin Jr., Morgan Oldham, and Johnny Lightning as well as Ford celebrities including John Clor and his lovely wife Jennifer Clor, Mike Rey, Gary Patterson, Steve Saleen, Robert Kennedy promoting his new book called “Unbridled”, and so many more.

From walk around unveilings at the main stage to sit down question and answer sessions about new products and the future of Ford, the Midway is the monster of places to be when attending Carlisle Ford Nationals.

Every turn down the Midway is another chance to run into someone from the Ford family. Looking at the Mustangs is awesome but being able to talk to these infamous characters is priceless. Every single person you meet will do everything they can to make your Carlisle Ford Nationals visit memora-

WALKING AROUND YOU COULD FEEL THE ENERGY AS YOU ENTER EACH BUILDING.

This year Carlisle Events and Carlisle Ford Nationals celebrated their 50th Anniversary. Not only did they have a killer display of Mustangs to represent various years, but they decorated their halls with historic photos and information about the history of Carlisle Events and everything that has ever happened on these historic grounds. From horse racing to jumping cars, Carlisle has done some pretty amazing things!

Walking around you could feel the energy as you enter each building. There were Mustangs on display that were extremely rare, especially the prototypes and “lost ponies” that people didn’t even know existed but some lucky owner out there was brave enough to bring them to Carlisle.

It is one thing walking around the show field, and it is another treat to walk around the Midway, but the best honor however is being inducted into the Carlisle Honoree list and having your Mustang on display under the lights and for all to see. Not only is your Ford put into the Carlisle history books, you as the owner become a living part of Carlisle tradition and history.
