Pony Trails 2026
Last Updated May 6, 2026 | Nate MoonisEvery year on the Friday of Carlisle Ford Nationals, CJs hosts a car meet and cruise from our headquarters in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to the fairgrounds in Carlisle. Affectionately known as Pony Trails, this meet followed by a cruise is one of our favorite events of the year.
By 8 a.m., our lot is usually packed with enthusiasts having their morning coffee, enjoying some donuts, and taking in the festivities. Then, everyone hops in their car and we take the short but scenic drive down to Carlisle, PA through windy backroads around 9 a.m.
If you're coming to Ford Nationals, or just looking to meet the CJ Pony Parts team and have some fun, visit us this year for Pony Trails! We'll have tons of free t-shirts, coffee, and donuts for everyone to share. For many of the regulars, it's a great opportunity to connect with old friends from the Mustang community and make new ones at CJs.
