Brief History of the Muscle Car Club
The first club meeting was held on 17th of Feburary 1994. There were
14 members
present 1 absent.
This meeting was held at Barry Gordon's home with Barry and Ross
Mischewski, contacting fellow Ford Muscle Car enthusiasts and
getting together to form the Ford Muscle Car Club.
Within the first year of the club being formed the club grew to 47
members, 22 falcon owners and 23 mustang owners 2 members did
not own a muscle car at the time but were ford enthusiasts.
The club grew from this to become well respected in the local area
and then country wide with members turning up to a host of activities
put on by other clubs ie all ford days, drag racing, events at Taupo
race track, the ford muscle car club even had a club day at Baypark
motor race circuit (thanks to Peter Hanna) before it closed.
The Ford Muscle Car Club took over the running of the All Ford Day
held in Putururu in March each year and brought it to Mt Maunganui.
The first all ford day hosted by the club was in March 2000.
Once a year we have had a track day mostly held in Taupo, these
track days have been a great day out for for club members getting
some track experience in handling of their cars.
Always getting together to watch Bathurst, this year the club will be at
Worlds End Sports Cafe at Fraser Cove Tauranga to watch the great
race on the big screens.
On the Saturday prior there is a car show
Ford vs that other brand that races there .....whats it called again? ;-)
In 2004 the club changed its name to include FPV owners which
opened up to not only late model falcons but to anyone who owned a
ford performance vehicle, escorts, sierra cosworths, in fact nearly
anything with that prized blue oval on it, along with our already large
number of falcons, mustangs and ac cobras the club is growing again.
The club holds a meeting on the first Wednesday night of each month
at the Oceanside Street Rodders clubrooms (Cherokee Place Mt
Maunganui) starting at 7.30pm.
We generally have an event or gathering once a month, with the All
Ford Day (Blake Park Mt Maunganui) on the first Sunday of March.
We also have a gymkhana at Baypark twice a year, a club day at
Taupo Raceway (when the flag drops the bull...it stops?) tenpin
bowling, indoor karting, plus the odd visit to a winery, along with
anything else that may come to mind.
