Last summer, a major new regional Mustang event made its mark on the Eastern seaboard. Held at Daytona Beach in 2007, Super Stang Fest garnered over 400 cars at its first festival style event which featured a huge Mustang show and cavalcade of surrounding activities for participants. The major success and excitement of the 2007 event has fueled a groundswell for an even bigger and better Super Stang Fest in 2008.

To build on the success of last summer’s festival, Super Stang Fest 2008 has moved to more centrally located and better suited venue at the Rockingham Raceway Park in North Carolina, known in NASCAR circles as “The Rock”. Located just southeast of Charlotte, the new venue has enabled Super Stang Fest 2008 to expand the festival, adding a number of key elements that will build enthusiasm and attract more participants. The event will be held Friday and Saturday, June 13-14. 2008.

"Super Stang Fest is more than just a Mustang show. We have something for everyone whether you want to show n’ shine your beautiful pony, spend some time on the track, buy some new performance parts or just pack up the family to come look at the beautiful pony cars" says Jason Miles, Super Stang Fest Event Chairman.

A Road Course Auto Challenge in partnership with Silverhorse Racing is one of the major new cornerstones of Super Stang Fest 2008, opening up the event to a larger group of tire shredding enthusiasts. Event participants can sign up for open track sessions as well as get special event rates for the on-site Fast Track Stock Car driving school. For straight line warriors, Super Stang Fest 2008 features a Kickoff Drag Night at the adjacent Rockingham Dragway as well as a smoky burnout contest sponsored by AmericanMuscle.com.

"Having the drag strip and circle track in walking distance of each other is a major win for participants. The Rockingham Dragway is one of the most popular quarter mile drag strips on the east coast and the Rockingham Speedway has fourty plus years of NASCAR history" adds Miles. This means that participants wont have to spend half the weekend packing up and driving from one venue to the other to take advantage of all the activities.

Super Stang Fest 2008 promises to eclipse the success of the 2007 event in the number of participants as well as expanse of display areas for parts, accessories, and organizations. The event has partnered up with several clubs and sponsors already to feature a manufacturer’s midway and for the first time, a huge used parts swap meet.

Super Stang Fest 2008 has a growing list of sponsors that include Roush Performance, AmericanMuscle.com, Silverhorse Racing, BMC Performance, Maximum Motorsports and SteedShop.com. Clubs that are partnering with the event to date include the Black Mustang Club, Silver Mustang Club, SVT Cobra Club, Stangfreak.com, Sand Hills Mustang Club, and FnSweet.com Roush Enthusiasts.

As a benefit to stature of the Rockingham Raceway Park, hotels and nearby restaurants are plentiful for those planning to travel across long distances to attend Super Stang Fest 2008. In 2007, the festival had participants from as far away as Canada, and this event promises to continue attracting participants from the far reaches of the US.

FnSweet.com will host another big National Gathering in conjuction with this event. More details to be announced soon!

The event is taking both online and mail in registrations. Enthusiasts are encouraged to print out the registration flyer and make copies for club meetings.
