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!
