Promoters say there may be more than twice as many Mustangs in Sturgis this coming weekend as there were last year.  The annual Mustang rally in Sturgis is seeing explosive growth according to the organizers.  Around eight hundred Mustangs are expected in the next several days.  The Mustang rally got underway Thursday evening with a social at the Sturgis Armory.  And more events continue through the weekend and into Labor Day.  Robin Shrake says, "Tomorrow will be our Poker Run. A lot of people in the Black Hills area will be seeing a lot of Mustangs traveling through the Hills. We're really exited about that. On Saturday will be the Show and Shine. That it open to the public. We want everybody to come down."  The promoters say the Mustang is an American legend.  The Mustang was first produced by the Ford Motor Company in 1964.
