Press Release: Frank Lawton is the chairman of this event, as well as a Mustang enthusiast. He said the Ford Mustang has been an American icon since it first rolled off the assembly line in 1964. "They appeal to all segments of the population," Lawton, who owns a 2005 Saleen Mustang and a 2006 Mustang GT, said.

Expect to see many older collectible Mustangs as well as their late model, more technologically advanced counterparts.

Lawton hopes that this rally will become the premier Mustang rally in the nation. He expects a very good turnout for this first event.

"We've got people coming in from all over the country," Lawton said.

According to Robin Shrake, the secretary/treasurer for the Mustang Club of America, she puts on a grand national rally every year. Located in a different town every year - the Mustang Rally is scheduled at least two years in advance.

"We're hoping within three to five years we can bring the national rally here to Sturgis," Shrake said.

It will be a fun-filled weekend for those who participate. There will be a swap meet, drag races, show and shine, street dance and a couple of different poker runs throughout the weekend where $3,000 in prize money will be available.
