So many of you wanted to do this again, I am looking into a possible mini Stampede next year, maybe over the Spring break or middle of summer, not associated with any car show.
Before I begin work here are the options.
1) We hit the southern route around Tennessee, North carolina, Virginia. We hit some NASCAR tracks over two to three days, in between we go to shooting ranges and fire away with whatever you can carry.
I want to call it Horsepower and Firepower!
2) We could do something less aggressive and call it peace, love and Pinto's.
Send me some feedback at bosspinto@pintostampede.com I want to hear if you want to do another mini one, who, and how many before I look into sponsors or costs associated with it.
first one sounds fun but not sure about carrying guns across state lines.

carry permits I know depend on what state has issued them. With a MN one I know I could carry in some states, not in others, depends on which states "honor" the MN permit. If I had one in another state it might be different depending on which states "honor" them. If the guns are "secured" I don't think it's as big an issue if locked up and in the trunk for example.
LOL the first one sounds fun! Id want my CCW though and a couple 50 cal desert eagles. Preferably two of the gold ones on this page just so if i did get pulled over it would be a funny site for the cop to be like "Do you have any guns? Yep two wanna see?"! http://swipelife.com/2008/12/11/custom-desert-eagle/ (http://swipelife.com/2008/12/11/custom-desert-eagle/)
Guns, God, and Pinto's
We can arrange who has carry permits for various states later. My question is.
Who wants to come along.
Here is a link to Pennsylvania reprosity so i can go through these stateas and everyone is welcome to use my firearms if this happens. You will just pay for the ammunition. http://www.pafoa.org/law/carrying-firearms/concealed-carry/reciprocity (http://www.pafoa.org/law/carrying-firearms/concealed-carry/reciprocity) If we can convince the tracks to let us in that would give us the possibility of Atlanta, Charlotte, Bristol, Martinsville and Richmond http://www.theinsidegroove.com/misc/nascar-race-track-locations-map.php (http://www.theinsidegroove.com/misc/nascar-race-track-locations-map.php) avoiding South carolina and Alabama at all costs, unless I get rights to carry through here. Which would give us Talladega and Darlington as possible tracks. Keep in mind I am just feeling this out, the Tracks are individually owned and may not want to partake in this, in which we could do local and dirt tracks. Send me an e-mail with your thoughts.

Would like to see a Southern route with Texas/Oklahoma/NM/Arizona involved. Fred's can be the stopping point.....or a stop in route. And how about a stop at Frank's in OK?

I will consider anything, the reason I chose this area as a possible starting point is for all the tracks within a localized area. This would be much smaller than the original Stampede, so two to three days tops. The Arizona & New Mexico sun would be brutal on the Ponies. But I love the area.
I like the Texas, Oklahoma, ect. route also. You might lure a few left coast folks in!
Maybe a partial Route 66 and famous eating establishment along the way. There are
several old historical Dragstrips through these parts also.
I'm in for a Oklahoma/ Texas stampede also.
OK, not allot of response to the Horsepower / Firepower Stampede. Texas and Oklahoma seem interested, I will reserve this idea for now, this may resurface as a Stampede in a year or two, this one would require allot of advanced planning.
Now, here is another option for the coming year. The Midwest Ford Nationals that started this year could be a potential Stampede event. They could use a boost and we could overun a small field with Pinto's. Anyone interested in going to this show next year?

I like that idea. Just get me a date before October so I can ask for time off from work.
Norm, I would love to do another stampede but I'm still recovering from The Original one. :lol:
Aren't you still planning a 45th Anniversary Stampede in 5 years? If I'm still welcome, I want to start saving up for that one. The Southern Route stampede sounds kinda fun but a) I don't own a gun, though I'm willing to shoot one at inanimate targets of course, and b) NASCAR is ok but I'd get an overdose of watching too much in a small period of time. Now I would love to have a Stampede that visits Civil War battlefields and other historical landmarks where America's legacy was being forged. In a couple years I'll see if I can save enough time/money to go to Carlisle again and actually spend a few days at some Civil War sites like Antietam and Manassas and such. And of course visit Dwayne and his family again. ;)
Let's see, You said something about VA, Tenn, N.C. The first thing that comes to mind is the Shenandoah Parkway and the Blue Ridge parkway. Great History with with Great Views. Lodging might be an Issue. A web search on it might give more insight. Just my 2 cents. Now i'm broke.

It was their first year so... I'll throw this out there... turnout wasn't the greatest and Tony said it was pretty "disoragnized" but did say it was a good location and if the organizers get organized it could be a good show. I know Wayne had a good time...
If you really wanted to make a statement! I might suggest this show in Illinois
International Route 66 Mother Road Festival
http://www.familyevents.com/event/158 (http://www.familyevents.com/event/158)
3 days of fun and more cars than you could shake a stick at. Press, TV and newspapers all over the place and the Pintos would make a heck of a statement there. Only drawback is 3 days of cars parked in downtown Springfield and hotels required if you stay for the event at about $100+ a night for 2 beds. I went to this with Tony and Barth Hamilton a few years back, first trip with my 1977 and camper combo... I had a blast!
Norm, that sounds like a lot of fun, however it's tough for us West coast guys to get back East. CB , Illinois mother road festival would be cool I would love to attend it, and I have always wanted to and will do the Woodward Dream Cruise . I'm heading for the largest show/ cruise on the west coast this week. Hot August Nights in South Lake Tahoe & Reno Nevada August 6-14. Check it out maybe some of you will add it to your bucket list.

SOMEBODY! needs to step up for the west coast Pinto owners and
NEEDS! to lead a Pinto Stampede for the Wounded Warrior Project from north to south or vise-versa for you guys! Nothing says we can't have "Stampedes" all across the USA on a smaller scale. Look at me, up here I'm a Stampede of One! keeping the dream alive and riding for them Wounded Warriors.
I would love to, myself. Perhaps get a few other Pinto owners in on it to. With my work schedule it's get up, work, go home, sleep, repeat. Today was the first day I got to do anything out of the "plan" in awhile.
I am working on a second Stampede for 2012, it will be smaller than the first. So it won't be 5 days long. How much smaller and where is what I am working on, any feedback would be great. I am thinking a 2-3 day event. I will post some ideas, there wasn't hardly any feedback on the first ideas so I am going back to the drawing board on this. I am also trying to organize a big event for 2013, so stay tuned.
