Seriously Becky, seeing what you two did to get Dwayne's support for the Stampede sent in, that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.

My thoughts exactly! :lol: Seriously, when a person from Virginia and a person from California team up just to post a picture, that is a situation born out of desperation and ingenuity! My thanks to Becky for her help... and my Pinto don't look half bad on the Stampede Supporters page!

Dwayne :smile:

Well guys, I appreciate you appreciating me, but it was a pleasure to help... but nothing huge on my part. I was glad to do it.

Dwayne... SEE!? Your '72 looks great! So she has a badge of honor...

Brian, to be honest... when I forwarded that picture of Ruby I really didn't think I was going to be able to make this trip. I'm not absolutely positively sure I can even now (but I think I can!) so I'll try to rectify the situation in thevery near future.

Thank you for the good eye!

they don't all have to be shiney, all of mine show their life scars and none are "perfect." Some of my favorite Pinto's are the well worn drivers, they have history and love to keep them going and while shiney is good, drivers are best

Becky, it's unlikely I will be able to ride with the Stampede myself, like you I have hope and will do my best but that much time away from work is an impossible task. Keep the faith, do what you can and if life get's in the way... I think we all understand, I know I sure do. I'm hoping everything works out for you, me and all that want to participate.

We will be showcased in the first ever Carlisle downtown parade. I just spoke with Carlisle events, the fee is $10 it would have been waived, but it goes to the township, not Carlisle Events. The parade will take place on Saturday after the judging is complete so you will not loose out on a possible trophy by attending. Please go and register if you plan to attend the parade so we can reserve a key position in the parade. (near the front, possibly really near) If you have not registered for the event, please do that also. Respect the Pinto!

Hmmmm. I just realized that because of the Libya mess that if the price of gas hits $5 per gallon by the start of the Stampede, I'm gonna spend about $500+ in gas each way......yikes .....and thats assuming about 27mpg. It'll be worth it!

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #104 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:41:37 AM »

Let's just hope that doesn't happen. Why didn't we listen "drill, baby, drill!" No one wants rain on their parade, so let's push for sunshine. :lol:

Pinto1600 · « **Reply #105 on:** February 26, 2011, 08:48:46 AM »

I just signed up two cars for the parade,I might need a wingman on the second car. It's between the '71 Pinto and the '79 Bobcat. Can anybody handle a 4 speed?

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #106 on:** February 26, 2011, 11:02:42 AM »

My mom can! She will be driving Louise's car from Denver and I know Louise will want to drive hers at the parade since she cannot do the Stampede. Otherwise if someone else really wnats to, she can be my co-pilot.

Friday Ford Racing.com sent out an e-mail to its 350,000 members, mentioning the Stampede and the 40th. For those who are not members to FordRacing.com, here is the excerpt.
Calling all Pinto Owners: Prepare for the Pinto Stampede!
Plus, You Must See the Polish Mustang Club's Cool Video!
The Pinto Car Club of America is aiming to corral Pinto owners and enthusiasts across the country for a five-day Pinto Stampede to the June 3-5 Carlisle Ford Nationals' 40th anniversary celebration of Ford's first domestically produced subcompact car. The 1,660-mile Pinto pilgrimage starts in Denver, CO, on May 29 and ends in Carlisle, PA, on June 2, with several memorable stops along the way before joining the largest Pinto display ever assembled – including coupes, hatchbacks and wagons of all vintages, plus autocross, SCCA, drag racing and other custom modified Pintos. So prep your little pony and join The Pinto Stampede. Not only can you party with fans of the popular-yet-much maligned '70s economy car (which topped 3.1 million sales from 1971-80), but you'll also be able to raise funds to benefit the "Wounded Warrior Project" for U.S. military veterans. Too cool!

The publicity has be very excited and proud to be part of the Pinto Community, as well as a Pinto owner! I just wish I could be a rolling participant of the Stampede!

Keep sending me emails about it, I read all of them and love to stay in the loop with where the Stampede is and what the plans are!

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #112 on:** February 27, 2011, 11:07:54 PM »

We just reached 30 members!!!! :happy_bday: We may only be starting with seven in Denver so far, still impressive to have seven Pintos rolling down the road. But by the time we reach Carlisle we will have over 30 pintos so far and the list is growing, three more in the last two days!!!!!! Keep em coming! Their will be a massive onslaught of Pintos at INDY!

Norman Bagi · « **Reply #113 on:** March 04, 2011, 09:46:18 PM »

Alot of things are happening now. I just got word that I will be interviewed about the Stampede on an NPR national radio show. It will not happen until we get closer to the event, I will post information here and on the pintostampede website.

So far our list of planned events includes:

Fort. Riley, attending the Memorial service on Memorial Day & tour of the facility
Kansas Speedway, (Nascar event)
St. Louis Arch.(press and mini show)
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Flight 93 Memorial, Paying respects to the fallen
Carlisle and the 40th Anniversary
Ford Parade through carlisle, Pintos will be a featured car
Live webcast of the event.

Stay tuned, more to come!!!!

I may try my webcam out tomorrow and drive around. I figured out a clean way to attach it above my mirror. If I do it, I'll post it, but the video will be on the Livestream server anyway, so it can be seen even afterwards. I'll be using my cell as a modem, but when it comes time for the stampede, I'm going to upgrade to a higher speed wireless account. So if the video is a little choppy, don't worry, it's the lower bandwidth for the test. maybe I should drive to San Francisco and go over the Golden Gate for you folks that don't have an ocean!!! If I do it, you can see it at www.livestream.com/pintostampedelive

75 days to go before we Stampede. Things are picking up and hopefuly gas prices will not go any higher. Feedback has been good and our Public relations blitz is finaly getting off the ground and should snowball out of control by the time we set sail. We have a few sponsors giving toward helping the trip happen.

We also have some special P.C.C.A. members who have stepped it up.

Leading the list of contributors is NoForkin who donated $250 toward helping make the trip happen and has also been buying and selling raffle tickets months before we hit Carlisle.

I did a webcam experiment using Ustream and will be streaming my afternoon cummute on Livestream this evening. I think I'm going to stick with Livestream as the Ustream feed failed after 30 minutes. Got a new Droid 3G phone which works great as a mobile broadband modem and streams pretty seamlessly. I have another audio setup that I don't have with me today which will be better, but today's test stream will just use the camera mic.....not that great. I just want to dial in the video first anyway.

Aside form the New York Times article, many other media outlets have ran the story form that artical and the press release we let out a few weeks ago.

Many more like this one sprang up as well:

What is good about it is, we are making some progress without alot of negativity, we have had just about enough of that.
