Toronto, Canada - March 5, 2004 - On Sunday, June 13, the Greater Toronto Area Mustang Club will host its 4th Annual BBQ and Show 'n Shine event. Held on the grounds of Ford Motor Company of Canada's headquarters in Oakville, Ontario, the gathering is the largest of the club's fifteen-event schedule for the season. The event runs from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
This year, the charity of choice is the MADD Halton/Peel Chapter. The club will donate one half of the entry fees-$10 per show car, spectators free-in addition to other funds raised at the event. "GTAMC is a growing club and we want to keep all our members coming back", said club President Fab Fiocco. "It is important to reinforce the 'Arrive Alive - Don't Drink & Drive' message, which could be overlooked in the spirit of a joyful event."
The 2003 Barbeque drew over three hundred show entries, including both modern and classic Mustangs, as well as an amazing assortment of other Ford enthusiast vehicles. Several more Toronto area Ford clubs participate in the event, including Ford Truck World - Ontario Chapter and the Golden Horseshoe Mustang Association.
"We are so looking forward to being affiliated with this wonderful event", said MADD Halton/Peel Chapter administrator, Linda Brick. Show participants and spectators will be able to check out the vendors and exhibitors, as well as a performance parts swap meet. Food concessions will be available and a DJ will keep the atmosphere lively. Many club and event sponsors are supporting raffles and door prize giveaways through the afternoon.
A number of special exhibits are also included. The newly rebuilt turbo dragster of previous Pro 5.0 series champion, Joe DaSilva, will be at the show. In addition, the Coca-Cola sponsored junior dragsters from Van Dette-Wier Racing can be seen, along with their drivers.
The event is sponsored, in part, by Fines Ford Lincoln Sales of Bolton, Ontario, Da Silva Racing of Scarborough, Heritage Ford Sales of Scarborough, CarPolish.ca of Burlington, Bramalea Tire of Brampton, Noyz Boyz Performance Exhaust of Scarborough, Mustang Toy Store of Scarborough, Van Dette-Weir Racing of Scarborough, Meguiar's Canada of Mississauga, SW Designs of Toronto, Rust Check Corporation of Mississauga and Western Motorsports of Calgary, Alberta.
