Mustang Week started from a little idea
that was just floating around, wanting
to do something cool for everybody.
Started in 2002.
First Mustang Week event was held
at Hard Rock Cafe in Myrtle Beach.
The attendance of the first event
was around 100 to 125 cars.
It has grown a lot since then.
It has went from 125 cars to over 2000 cars.
They can go to the website which is MustangWeek.com,
and it has all of our contact info, direct emails, and phone
numbers.
This event went really well.
It was our biggest one so far.
We are going to have some solid numbers very soon,
but I know they were better than last year.
It's to be expected at Myrtle Beach,
they'll have an afternoon thunder shower.
But people come back out after it clears up.
It's kind of nice.
It cools things off.
The most unexpected thing that happened this year
was the fact that it keeps growing.
It gets a little bigger every year.
We've been very fortunate with that.
And I generally enjoy all the events.
I enjoy the meet and greet.
I had a good time at autocross, got
to ride some really nice cars.
And I work a lot.
We have a meet and greet on Tuesday
where everybody gets together, friends from the past.
Speedway event on Wednesday where we have fun
runs, autocross, burnout contest.
Then Thursday we have the drag night.
Friday we have the car show, Saturday the [INAUDIBLE].
Just need to watch the guys out there and have
a good time, people that's never done
an autocross, people that's never
had the chance to run around the circle track.
They get to go out and enjoy it, see what it's like,
learn a little bit.
We had an autocross school this year
where they were taught some good stuff.
Mustang Week is not just a car show.
It's not just a drag strip.
It's an event.
You've got a multitude of different things to do.
People that have never been to say a speedway or the drag
strip, you can go out and enjoy it for the first time.
They don't have to feel shy or awkward.
The car show is a laid back atmosphere.
You're at the beach.
We want you to go out and do beach things
and enjoy the car shows and all the sponsors and spectators
have a good time.
I'd like to say thanks to everyone
that was involved, the staff, which is me, Mike Clay, Brad
Worley, Scott Morgan, and the late Bill Jones.
We always think about him.
I'd like everyone to thank the volunteers
because we couldn't do it without them.
They're gonna want to thank the sponsors,
because there's no way it would happen without them.
And I look forward to seeing everyone next year.
