Mustang's 50th celebration schedule - USA
Hosted by the Mustang Club of America and sponsored by Ford Motor Company, two simultaneous 50th Mustang Birthday Celebration events will be split into east and west coast events - in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Charlotte, North Carolina - with both held on April 16-20, 2014.
Hub for the east coast event will be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, while the west coast event will be centred at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The party actually starts two weeks prior to the April 16 - 20 events, with 'Great American Pony Drives' travelling from seven different US cities to Mustang, Oklahoma, for the official kick-off weekend. These will then be followed by east-bound and west-bound Pony drives to the aforementioned Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration events in Nevada and North Carolina.
There's also a Mustangs Across America drive, for those west coasters who want to cruise to the east coast event! This drive starts in Los Angeles, California, heading for Charlotte on a seven-day drive.
