MACH 1 REGISTRY
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS
By John M. Clor
This year at the Carlisle Ford Nationals, the Mach 1
Registry is celebrating its 10th anniversary. A proud
participant in the Ford Performance Group of enthusiast
organizations as promoted on FordRacing.com, this
club has made its national gathering at Carlisle an annual
event. The Mach 1 Registry connects all interested
enthusiasts with an exclusive group of passionate
and knowledgeable late-model Ford Mustang Mach
1 owners who can help you with everything there
is to know about buying, maintaining and enhancing
the 2003–04 Mustang Mach 1. David and Tamara
Wagner launched the Mach1Registry.com website
on May 22, 2002, when these modern, shaker-scoop
equipped Mustangs became available to order from
Ford dealers. It has grown from a small online owners
list to 9,000-plus Mach 1 enthusiasts all over the world.
Ownership of a Mustang Mach 1 is not a requirement
to participate in the forums. And even though the club
caters to the late-model 2003–04 versions of the Mach
1, owners of the earlier 1969 through 1978 Mach 1
Mustangs are welcome to participate. Ford Racing and
the Carlisle Ford Nationals salute the Mach 1 Registry
on its 10th birthday! We encourage all to stop by the
club tent this weekend to say hi or ask about membership,
and make sure you take time to enjoy the long
line of Mach 1s on the showfield!
