COME ON AND GO ON A

CRUISE OR A CRUISE IN.

Your Cruise committee tries to

schedule a monthly event in the

months of April thru December. We

know everyone can't go to all of the

events for various reasons. That is

why we try to have at least one per

month so everyone can get to one or

more. For those of you that have been

on previous events, I believe we have

had a lot of fun. Come out and meet

fellow club members and their

families. Meet members of other car

clubs. Get valuable information about

Ford Mustangs and other Ford models

.Our charity Cruise-In to McGuire

Veterans Hospital last fall was a

wonderful event. To see the smiles on

the veterans faces looking at the cars

was priceless. There is a lot of

volunteer time and hours that go into

planning and coordinating these

events. So bring the family out to a

Cruise- In picnic or any of these fun

filled events. If you have an event you

would like to suggest, let your Cruise

Committee know your thoughts on it .

We will try to make it happen if at all

possible.

News From The

Blue Oval

Mustang 50th

Birthday

Celebration Up-Date

2015 Ford Mustang Spy

Photos Revealed

By: Wes Raynal on 8/20/2013

No doubt Ford's biggest news

next year is the new 2015 Mustang,

launched to help the Blue Oval

celebrate the pony car's 50th

anniversary. Today we're getting our

best look yet at the face of the next

Mustang.

There are significant changes

afoot: We've been reporting for

months the new car could look more

like the Evos concept car Ford showed

at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show.

Additionally, the sixth-generation

Mustang will get independent rear

suspension and will be offered with

turbocharging -- or EcoBoost, in

Fordspeak -- for the first time since

the '80s SVO Mustang. Look for both

turbo-fours and -sixes, and we'd be

stunned if a V8 wasn't also offered;

Automotive News says the four could

produce upward of 300 hp. The new

car will be roughly the same size as

the outgoing car, and a right-hand-

drive model is expected for the U.K.

and Australia.

We're expecting production to

begin in summer 2014, so we should

be seeing more of these prototypes

running around as the year winds

down. As always, we'll keep you

posted.

Keselowski Scores 4th

Staight Nationwide Win

AUG. 10, 2013

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Brad

Keselowski scored his second straight

victory in the Nationwide Series

Saturday by holding off Penske Racing

teammate Sam Hornish Jr. over the

closing laps of the Zippo 200 at

Watkins Glen International.

Keselowski has won the past

four Nationwide races he’s entered –

at Richmond, Kentucky, Iowa and the

Glen.

Keselowski, who led 46 of the

race’s 82 laps, outran the hard-

charging Hornish by 1.41 seconds.

From there it was a nine-second drop

to third-place Brian Vickers.

Completing the top five were Regan

Smith and Elliott Sadler.

Keselowski could feel Hornish

pushing him over the final laps.

“I thought he was going to beat

me,” Keselowski said. “He’s a hell of a

road-course racer. I made a couple

little mistakes. I thought he would get

me, to be honest. It just all came

together.

“The Mustangs in the

Nationwide Series are on a roll.”

The series point race tightened.

Hornish, in second place, moved to

within three points (from 14 down) of

leader Austin Dillon.

Page 7: The Galloping Gazettecentralvamustang.com/newsletters/2013/sep.pdf1 The Galloping Gazette The Official Newsletter Of The Central Virginia Mustang Club September 2013 / Issue 321 CVMC

Page 7

“Brad and I had a great race,”

Hornish said of the battle of Mustangs.

“I could pressure him toward the end

of the race, but I never got close

enough to take advantage of anything.

With three laps to go, I got really

sideways through the ‘bus stop’.

“It got to the point where it felt

like I had driven 10 laps over 100

percent each of those laps. I couldn’t

get beside him to wehre I ahd a

legitimate shot to pass him. I needed

to make sure I didn’t make a mistake.”

Ford Finishing Order:

1st – Brad Keselowski

2nd – Sam Hornish Jr.

10th – Trevor Bayne

15th – Travis Pastrana

21st – Joey Logano

22nd – Michael Annett

BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 22

Hertz Ford Mustang – VICTORY LANE

INTERVIEW: THAT WAS ALMOST

FLAWLESS. “There was definitely some

drama with the different strategies. I

really thought the 48 car could make it

on fuel, but obviously it didn’t. We

just plugged away. We had a fast car

and that’s so important. The Hertz

team and everybody at Penske Racing

did a helluva job. All three Penske cars

were fast and that’s so important.

You’ve got to have a fast car and

you’ve got to execute the weekend to

win these races and our team did that

today.” IT DIDN’T TAKE YOUR TEAM

LONG TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE

THIS MUSTANG GO FAST. “The

Mustangs are really, really fast.

Everybody has done a great job with

these Nationwide cars and it’s a

pleasure to drive when you’ve got cars

this good.” DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING

THAT WILL CARRYOVER TO

TOMORROW? “No, I think you learn

more about yourself and what your

limitations are and how hard you push

the car and know when you’re pushing

it too hard and know when you can

push it some more. I think you learn

more about yourself than you do the

cars.”

SAM HORNISH JR. – No. 12

Penske Truck Rental Ford Mustang –

WERE YOU MISSING SOMETHING

BETWEEN SECOND AND FIRST? “I was

driving the crap out of the car trying to

pressure Brad into making a mistake

and I got him to get into turn one hard

a couple times and just wore my stuff

out trying do everything I could to

figure out how to keep with him and

keep pressuring him. It was a real

good day for our Penske Truck Rental

Ford Mustang. The guys did a great

job and gave me a great car. We had

a loss in our Penske organization. A

long-time friend, Barbara Signore,

passed away this last week. She was a

good friend to the IROC Series and all

the people at Penske Racing, so we’re

going to miss her. We’re looking

forward to getting to Mid-Ohio next

weekend, but most importantly getting

home tonight to see my girls. It was a

great day. I feel very blessed to come

out here and have a good run. Third

last year, second this year, maybe

we’ll get us a win next year.” YOU’RE

DOWN THREE IN THE POINTS. “With

about five laps to go I had to have a

little bit of a gut-check on what was

more important, winning the race or

getting some points. I did everything I

could do to try to pressure Brad and to

make it a great race for the fans and I

wore my stuff out trying to keep with

him. I got to the point where I about

spun twice trying to pressure him and

trying to figure out a way to get

around him. I just decided it would be

a little bit better to get the points, and

I’m just happy because our Penske

Truck Rental Ford Mustang was really

good today. We’ve qualified on the

pole the last two years here. We

finished third last year, second this

year, so maybe we’ll come back next

year and figure out how to win one.”

WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS

DOWN THE STRETCH? “The other part

of the whole deal is I’m racing my

teammate, so it’s not like it’s

somebody else. They’re running for

the owner’s championship and all the

things that are going on here at

Penske Racing and we felt really good.

We ran 1-2-3 quite a bit today with

Joey as well. It was very difficult to sit

there and want to win this race and

Page 8: The Galloping Gazettecentralvamustang.com/newsletters/2013/sep.pdf1 The Galloping Gazette The Official Newsletter Of The Central Virginia Mustang Club September 2013 / Issue 321 CVMC

Page 8

what it would mean to me to be able

to win here, but, on the other hand,

the championship is very, very

important to us and that just kept

replaying to me. Every time that car

stepped out and I’d have to make a

big correction to be able to catch it,

you’ve got to be smart here and make

sure that we save the car and get

some good points today.”

TRAVIS PASTRANA – No. 60

Roush Fenway Ford Mustang – “I

didn’t really do that well in practice

and qualifying, but I thought we had a

really, really good car. I was just kind

of smooth and steady in the beginning

and moved up to 10th at one point,

and I was running with some good

cars there in the middle. I got my lap

times down where I wanted to be, but

we bumped into a few people under

braking, so it wasn’t the result that we

had hoped for. I felt like we learned a

lot though and were a top-10 car at

the end, so, for me, that’s still the

primary goal.”

MCA News

September 2013

Our fall show now appears in

the Event Calendar section of this

month’s issue of Mustang Times.

Here’s hoping all CVMC

members attending the Grand National

show Labor Day weekend comes home

with Gold or first place awards. I have

been informed there are over 500

Mustangs participating in this show.

Here are some of the results

from the July 20th MCA Board of

Directors meeting:

There are over 1,000 Mustangs

already registered for the 50th

Birthday Celebration.

Because of all the work involved in

hosting a National or Grand

National show the BOD has

approved awarding the President’s

Award to that club hosting the

National or Grand National show.

Page 9: The Galloping Gazettecentralvamustang.com/newsletters/2013/sep.pdf1 The Galloping Gazette The Official Newsletter Of The Central Virginia Mustang Club September 2013 / Issue 321 CVMC

Page 9

The September issue is supposed

to have the bios for the 16 MCA

members running for the Board of

Directors election for the 12

vacancies. A ballot will be sent out

to all MCA members. Please vote

and mail your ballot by the

requested date.

MCA military members and

government employees stationed

in areas oversea (APO/FPO

addresses) will be provided access

to Mustang Times on line. This

should stop the long delays,

sometimes longer than a few

months, of all magazines.

The MCA club membership

incentive drive for each new member

has been reinstated. This means that

instead of the new member paying the

standard MCA dues of $50.00, that

new member will pay only $40.00 to

me. At our club’s board meeting the

$10.00 MCA was awarding us will be

passed on the each new MCA member.

I have a special form I have to send to

MCA with the new member’s

application. Included with your

membership is the Mustang Times

magazine which contains great articles

on various shows and activities,

judging issues, pictures, advice on

repairs for all year Mustangs, and new

or hard to get remanufactured parts.

This magazine is only available to MCA

members. If you want to join MCA,

please see me during the break:

News from the Car Club

Council

This month let’s discuss the

hitting of the “blend wall” which is

when the amount of ethanol required

by federal law will be so great that the

amount of gasoline produced will not

be able to blend at the current ten

percent ethanol level. In order to

really understand what this means we

have to review some recent history.

In 2007 the economy was hot,

gas prices were getting close to four

dollars a gallon, the U.S. was using a

record 9.1 million barrels of gasoline a

day and Congress wanted to take

action to prevent even more foreign

importation of oil. Congress came up

with the Energy Independence and

Security Act (EISA) of 2007 which

created the Renewable Fuel Standard

(RFS). This new law required the

volume of renewable fuel to be

blended into transportation fuel from a

beginning of 9 billion gallons in 2008

to 36 billion gallons by 2022. By

renewable fuel I mean ethanol in

gasoline. There are other renewable

fuels but ethanol is the real concern.

Each year the EPA is

responsible for developing and

implementing regulations to ensure

that transportation fuel sold in the

United States contains a minimum

volume of renewable fuel. And that

volume is going to increase each year

until the 36 billion gallons is reached

by 2022.

As we all know the country has

suffered a serious recession which

decreased the amount of gasoline

Page 10: The Galloping Gazettecentralvamustang.com/newsletters/2013/sep.pdf1 The Galloping Gazette The Official Newsletter Of The Central Virginia Mustang Club September 2013 / Issue 321 CVMC

Page 10

used. Today the U.S. uses a half a

million barrels less than we used in

2007. Times have changed but the

EISA and RFS have not. Due to the

economy and the ever increasing fuel

economy of today’s vehicles (the

Obama administration recently upped

the Corporate Average Fuel Economy

standards for light trucks and cars) the

amount of gasoline used daily in the

U.S. is going down each year. The U.S.

Department of Energy expects the

amount of gasoline used to drop

through the year 2040. In fact the

department expects gasoline prices to

decrease by about ten cents a gallon

next year due to lower demand and

increased production.

The government is requiring

more renewable fuel (ethanol) to be

added to gasoline while at the same

time gasoline use is going down. This

is what is meant by hitting the blend

wall – the blending of the renewable

ethanol with gasoline is going to hit a

place where in order to meet the

renewable standard more ethanol will

have to be added to the gasoline

produced.

Could this be the reason the

EPA approved the sale of E 15 with

little testing? I don’t know but look at

this quote from the EPA. The EPA has

stated, “We believe that it will be

challenging for the market to consume

sufficient quantities of ethanol sold in

blends greater than E10 and to

produce sufficient volumes of non-

ethanol biofuels ... to reach the

mandated 18.15 billion gallons for

2014.” In other words we could hit the

blend wall in 2014 or even later this

year. Another problem is the

production of ethanol. What if there is

a drought? That would mean there

would not be enough corn to produce

the ethanol needed.

Congress could act and change

the law. The last Congress, the 112th,

was the least production since 1948

(the first year production was

measured). This Congress, the 113th,

is on track to pass even fewer pieces

of legislation. I wouldn’t count on

Congress fixing the renewable fuels

mandate. There are a couple of bills in

Congress to stop the production of E

15 but they would not fix the mandate

and passage by both houses is very

doubtful.

And of course there are those

who do not want more ethanol added

to gasoline. Lawsuits have been

brought by companies that build

gasoline engines. They fear they will

not be able to warranty an engine

running on E 15 and higher blends of

ethanol.

Antique car hobbyists have had

to survive the mandate of no-lead

gasoline, the lowering of octane plus

gasoline additives and E 10 gasoline.

Our old vehicles will not survive the

mandate of E 15 if that comes to be.

Congress needs to revisit the Energy

Independence and Security Act and

the Renewable Fuel Standard. It could

be geared to gasoline production

instead of picking a minimum volume

of ethanol/renewable fuel. It is just

another sign that our legislators are

not doing what we elected them to do.
