“This was a big year for Turn5 and AmericanMuscle as we celebrate 10 years in what started out as a customer appreciation event and has quickly grown into the largest gathering of Mustang enthusiasts from all around the country,” said Steve Voudouris, co-founder and CEO of Turn5.

The show featured included exhibition races, revving competitions and performance part demos.
