April 12th, 2010 Opening another dimension During our research we stumbled over a lot of other 69/70 Mustang racecar. Reason enough to start up another section on this site with help from former A/S car, Touring class cars and some other that may have catched your interest in those years. We will also regroup a few that had found their way in the T/A segment during the past years. |

March 19th., 2010 PTWA based SUNA-6-3 Repair Coating for genuine Ford engine blocks soon available? Some of you may have followed the Ford news in February about the innovative 2011 Shelby G.T.500 alum block treated with the PTWA coating process, developed by Ford Aachen R&D centre/Germany with Honsel and Spray-Flame Industries. Actually the 2011 G.T.500 engine block is produced over here in Germany now from Honsel in Meschede. Many overlooked in the February 2010 PR news the words about the cast iron engines that were tested. Well it helped our club to be well-known in the Ford inhouse magazine in Germany, so we got a mail from INSIDE Ford R&D that there will be more news around SUNA-6-3-repair-PTWA based-coatings of cast iron engines. Aside from Caterpillar Diesel engine applications the testing is in the final stages with this 66 Mustang engine. 
This is the actual private test car. |
While we don't think this coating might be necessary for
the average Joes daily driver..depending on the final pricing, serious racers
and Boss runners may keep their antennas tuned to Ponysite News for further
updates from INSIDE Ford R&D and Honsel. Honsel and Ford are engaged to
apply the techniques to volume car lines. The 1.4ZVTEC is one of the projects,
the Caterpillar project another that turned out of a Nano-mobil-R&D project
sponsored by the german BMBF with 11million Euro. The 66 Mustang engine project is
carrried out with help from a former Q-Manager at the Ford Cologne engine
factory, that produced the Mustang V6-engine for years. |

January 9th, 2010 One of the things that drives us in maintaining this site is reconnecting previous owners with the current ones to preserve the histories of their Mustangs. Once again a mail made my day in the first days of January 2010, when Greg Meindl reported that former Mustang-racer Hermann Schlenker found his way to Greg through the report about his Mustang racecar on Ponysite.de |
 The picture shows the car at a 1967 2-days canadian rallye event, here at the start on an island "St. Helenes" at the Montreal Expo. Hermann was invited by Gary back then to drive his car there. Gary Young was the owner of the car, which was sponsored by the Frontier Ford dealership. In the background are Gary Young, Hermann Schlenker and Miss Montreal Expo. We are sure both will have a nice time in reconnecting Hermann to his former mates and memories and maybe even reunite him one day with is old car. Read here more about the history of that car, we will add Hermanny pictures soon. |
