Announcement

The Treasure Valley Mustang and Ford Club is pleased to announce that preparations are well underway for the 42nd International Mustang Meet to be held next year, September 3-6, 2021 in Boise, Idaho. We are excited about the progress made so far and anticipate that IMM42 will be an outstanding and memorable event.

The host hotel, The Riverside, is a great venue for an event like the IMM. It is in a beautiful location on the banks of the Boise River and Green Belt with easy access to freeways and downtown Boise. We have also secured group rate reservations at two additional nearby hotels for any needed overflow.

In order to “kick it up a notch”, we have added a few twists to enhance the event that we believe attendees are going to enjoy. Some of those additions are:

• Show registration can be completed 100% online and is the preferred method for registration and payment.
• Lupo Motors, one of our featured sponsors, will be providing wash and detail services at their facility to get cars ready for the show and to allow owners to relax and socialize.
• The Saturday BBQ will include live music.
• The silent auction will be conducted via an easy to use web site that will allow participants in real time to follow the action on items they are interested in and submit successive bids to stay in the action.
• We have eliminated the formal awards ceremony. With the numerous classes and awards at an IMM, the awards presentations have become overly length and tedious. Awards will be announced Sunday afternoon via signage placed around the hotel and winners will be able to pick up their award in a designated room. Best of show, special, and sponsor awards will be presented at the Sunday banquet. All award winners will be featured in a continuous slide show during the Sunday banquet.
• We have added a Sunday morning “Tech Talk” session featuring some of the industry’s top restoration experts to talk about projects and techniques.
• The Sunday banquet has been designed to be an event that people will “want” to attend rather than feeling that they “have” to attend. The dinner will feature a menu and entertainment highlighting Boise’s unique association with the Basque culture. We’ll also have an excellent presentation by veteran journalist John Clor.
• The 2021 Bullitt Nationals will also occur during IMM42.  They will have some preliminary events prior to IMM42, but will show their Bullitt Mustangs as part of the IMM42 car show on Saturday,  See https://hoondogperformancegroup.weebly.com/ for full details about the Bullitt Nationals.  We expect 40+ Bullitt Mustangs to be present from all across the US and Canada

Q: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will the Canadians be able to attend IMM42?

A: The IMM42 board is closely watching the status of non-essential travel restrictions between the US and Canada. We hope that the border will be open in time for IMM42.  We request that the Canadians that have already registered to please hang in there and wait until our refund deadline of August 31 to request a refund if they cannot attend due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Q: What are the car classes for the show? How do I know if my car is in the stock or modified classes?

A: Car classes, rules and the tech sheet used for determining stock and modified classes can be found on the "Car Classes" page.

Q: Will trailer parking be available?

A: Trailer parking will be available directly adjacent to the hotel. Please indicate if you will be trailering when completing your show reservation.

Q: Will a car wash station be available?

A:  Lupo Motors, one of our featured sponsors, will be providing wash and detail services at their facility to get cars ready for the show and to allow owners to relax and socialize. For those wanting to roll their own, we’ll have a DIY wash station on site. There are also several nearby car washes.

Q: How far are the secondary hotels from the host hotel?

A: The Cottonwood Suites are across the street and the Red Lion is under a mile... a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk.

Q: Will there be security available for cars parked overnight?

A: We will have security present at the host hotel and the two alternate hotels, and trailer parking area. Participants not staying at the host hotel can also, if they choose, park their cars at the host hotel location.

Q: Will T-Shirt sales be available at the show?

A: There will be a limited number of shirts available for sale at the show. We encourage participants to pre-order and pay for shirts as part of the registration process. Pre-orders close on August 10, 2021. See the Registration page for an image of the T-shirt design.

Q: I would like to come to the event but may fly to Boise without bringing a car. Can I still attend?

A: Yes, we have a “participant’s only” category for those not able to bring a car.  Pay this fee when registering instead of registering a car and you and a spouse/partner/friend can attend.

Q: Does my spouse/partner/friend need to register?

A: Yes. All events will require show name tags for entrance. There is no additional registration charge for your spouse/partner/friend when you register.

Q: The Saturday show site is several miles from the hotel. Will there be any transportation between the hotel and the show should I not want to spend the entire day at the show?

A: Yes. We anticipate having a shuttle bus service running between the hotel and show.

Q: Will I get a refund if the show should be cancelled?

A: Yes. Refunds will be issued in the event of cancellation.

Q: I would like to add an item to my original registration, how do I do this?

A: Just fill out an additional registration with the items you want to add.  For example, if you want to add another Banquet Dinner ticket, then fill out the required fields, do not register your car again, and add the Banquet Dinner. Then checkout and pay for the added items.

Q: What if I have a question not asked here?
