The
first thing you may notice about the Mustang Week schedule
is that the majority of the events don't start until the
afternoon. We, the Staff, want participants to have a
chance to enjoy their vacation at the beach just as much
as they enjoy having fun with their cars. We are excited
that people chose to spend a week in Myrtle Beach with us
away from their day-to-day lives. Don't forget to stop by
the Mustang Week trailer and tents to say hello, pick up
Mustang Week collectibles and get an arms-length of raffle
tickets! Enjoy your week at the beach and drive carefully!
We
start the week with a bang on Tuesday (July 20, 2010)
with the Meet-n-Greet at Planet Hollywood, located at the
intersection of US 17 Bypass and 29th Avenue, across from
the Broadway at the Beach shopping and dining area. The
event is scheduled to run from 1:00pm until 5:00pm and is
a fun, informal gathering to start the week off. The
Planet Hollywood and Club Kryptonite staff reserves their
parking lots just for Mustang Week that afternoon. In
2009, over 400 Mustangs and SVT's filled the lot and gave
returning attendees the chance to see friends from
previous years and 
newcomers
to meet new friends. It's very laid back and some folks
come straight off the highway from their trip to Mustang
Week. You can come and go as you please and with this
year’s earlier schedule you can get a jump on all the
other exciting things Myrtle Beach has to offer. Most
participants choose to get there a little early and stay
the entire time and some choose to stop by for only an
hour or two. The choice is yours!
On
Wednesday, July 21, 2010, we head over to the 
The
autocross course is set up and run by experienced
personnel, ensuring safety and fun. Auto crossing gives
the driver the opportunity to test their driving skills on
a flat, coned course! The autocross will provide a
low-speed chance to push your car's handling capability
while testing the driver's skill behind the wheel! In
2009, we held the first Autocross Shootout which added a
competition to the night. 5.0 editor, Steve Turner,
competed and finished in the top three!
Thursday,
July 22, 2010, we make the trek back to 
safety
gear required by Darlington International Dragway (www.darlingtondragway.com).
Several Mustang Week sponsors and vendors, including Pro-Dyno
(704-651-3807 to schedule dyno time), will be set up at
the Dragnight as well!
Time
to clean up your ride on Friday, July 23, 2010, as the
7th Annual Mustang Week Car Show takes over Myrtle Beach
Mall (intersection of US 17 and SC 22). The 2009 show
brought a sell-out crowd of 600 cars in the show and just
over 4,000 spectators! The 2010 Car Show will fill up
quickly. The 2008 show sold out prior to the start of
Mustang Week, so pre-register as soon as it is open! The
car show is open to all years of Ford Mustangs and SVT
vehicles and has quickly become one of the best all-around
Mustang car shows on the East Coast.
Cars/trucks
will be judged bases on the overall cleanliness and
quality of presentation. We will look at the interior of
the car, the engine compartment, the body, the wheels and
tires. We will not judge convertible tops or side glass
since they are optioned to be down during the judging
period. We will not judge trunks as well. The people who
do win at the Mustang Week Car Show take cleaning serious
and it shows. The Staff understands that you are not at
home with all your "normal" cleaning products
and procedures. BUT... each year folks drive a long way to
Mustang Week and always manage to get their cars REALLY
clean! In 2009, 140 trophies were awarded, so good luck!
For those that wish to be part of the judging, the fee is
$30. Registration for the judged portion of the car show
will be by pre-register only on the Mustang Week website 
(www.mustangweek.com)
and will open in mid April. The car show will sell out
online prior to the actual event, so register early to
ensure you get a spot. After registration closes, there
will be no late entries. Participants may choose to
"display only" for $10, which will be available
for online registration as well. Check-in for the show
will be between 9:00 am and 11:00 am. Judging will run
from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. In 2010, car show awards will
be presented at 3:00 pm on Saturday, July 24th in front of
the Mustang Week tents and trailer. The show field is
located in the southwestern corner of the mall's parking
lot, adjacent to Bass Pro Shops. Participants will enter
access the show field on the service road at the rear of
the mall. Mustang Week Staff and volunteers will be
present to help with parking. The Mustang Week sponsors
and vendors will be out in full force at the show as well.
Saturday,
July 24, 2010, ends the week-long fun with the East
Coast’s Largest Mustang and SVT Cruise-In! The Cruise-In
takes place at the Myrtle Beach Mall (same venue as
Friday's Car Show) and runs from 12:00 pm until 6:00 pm.
The sheer volume of Mustangs and SVT's at the Cruise-In
never ceases to amaze participants and spectators. In
2009, attendance at the Mustang Week Cruise-In on Saturday
nearly 2,000 Mustangs and SVTs packed the show field and
surrounding parking lots! It would take the entire
afternoon to walk around and see everything! Steve 
Saleen
was on hand with SMS to sign autographs and meet the
masses! Over 5,000 spectators got a chance to see all the
cars, sponsors, and vendors! It goes without saying that
the 2010 Cruise-In will be one of the largest gatherings
of Mustangs you will see in one place at one time! It is a
"can't miss" event! There is no fee for
attending and no registration, just show up and have fun!
Once again, Mustang Week Staff and volunteers will be on
hand to help with parking and answer any questions that
you may have.
That
brings us to the end of the week. At this point, we would
like to offer a few suggestions to help make your week
more fun and comfortable. We suggest that you always bring
plenty of water with you to the events. It gets hot during
the day and having plenty of fluids will insure you will
make it through the day. Always make sure to have a good
supply of sunscreen as well. Sunburn can make a day in the
sun very uncomfortable. Most importantly, Mustang Week was
created to be a celebration! We want it to be a very
relaxing and laid-back time, without all of the hassles of
the typical car show. And lastly, please obey all traffic
laws when coming into and leaving a Mustang Week event. We
want everyone to return to their homes safely having had
the time of their lives!
