Mustang
Week and the Palace Theatre are partnering together for Mustang Week 2012
and announce that the Meet-n-Greet for 2012 will be held at the Palace
Theatre at Broadway at the Beach. The event has grown to one of the
favorite events of the week. The Mustang Week Staff searched and have
teamed up with the Palace Theatre to bring our opening event to a new
venue. 
The
Palace Theatre is located at the intersection of US 17 Business and 21st
Street, at the award winning "Broadway at the Beach" Entertainment
complex. The Palace Theatre plays host to some of the greatest and most
spectacular live entertainment shows, Broadway theatre productions and
musicals from around the world, including LE GRAND CIRQUE ADRENALINE for
the summer of 2012!
Mustang
Week continues to steadily grow and become the premier Mustang and SVT-based
events of the year. Of course, none of this would have been possible
without the help of the Mustang Week sponsors, vendors, and participants.
We are grateful for the support they continue to give. We understand what
it takes for people to attend a week-long event. Simply put, without you
Mustang Week simply would not happen.
This
year brought some of the hottest weather we’ve seen during Mustang Week.
But that didn’t stop participants from having a great time! We kicked off
the week with the Mustang Week VIP party at Ride Makerz at Broadway at the
Beach. This was the second annual VIP Party where Ride Makerz gave 100
lucky participants a free toy car to build and customize! There were some
excited kids and adults!
Tuesday’s
Meet-n-Greet at Planet Hollywood was just phenomenal! Just over 500 cars
were in attendance as Mustangs and SVTs filled every available parking
space at Planet Hollywood and Legends In Concert! Overflow had to park
across the street at Broadway at the Beach, in some of the surrounding
hotels, and even in the wooded area surrounding the event! This event has
quickly become a crowd and Staff favorite! Folks lined up for the entire
afternoon to be one of the first to get one of the highly anticipated 10th
Anniversary Mustang Week t-shirts! The afternoon was capped off with the
unveiling of the Palmetto Ford Mustang Week Cruiser!
Wednesday
carried Mustang Week back to the Myrtle Beach Speedway for a revised
schedule. New for 2011, we broke the day’s events into three separate
parts. Early in the morning autocross
veterans
and newcomers took a turn at the infield course. The autocross has quickly
become a yearly favorite for many! In the afternoon we transitioned over
to Fun Runs around the ½-mile oval! This year’s setup allowed participants
a much more spirited experience. 220 cars took part and 1500 attendees
watched all the excitement. The night ended with a show-stopping burnout
contest!
On
Thursday, we ventured to Darlington International Dragway for the Mustang
Week Dragnight. 195 cars participated and over 1500 spectators watched all
the quarter-mile fun. The night was action packed! For a second year in a
row, spectators filled the stands on both sides of the racetrack. The
Darlington Dragway staff really stepped up their game and had the track
ready to run before the crowds arrived. The track had been prepped with
special glue for hot weather and it work great! Staging lanes were open
all afternoon and evening and participants could take as many passes as
they could stand! Clear weather also made the trip to and from Darlington
fun for all!
As
always, Friday’s Car Show never fails to disappoint! The “sold out” show
field was filled with over 600 of the finest Mustangs and SVT’s to be
found! We even had to park many of the display only cars in overflow
parking. Participants and attendees could also get a good look at all of
the Mustang Week Sponsors and Vendors who were out in full-force! Our
vendors and sponsors really revved it up this year! Monster Energy Drinks
was on board this year and really added to the excitement! Miss Jessica
Barton was on hand to sign posters as well! The Mustang Week Staff again
called
on
the help of Stangs-R-Us Mustang Club to quickly and efficiently park the
show field. Their help was very valuable! Walking this show field gave
spectators and participants a chance to see the best the Mustang community
has to offer! This year we called on participants to volunteer as car show
judges and a great group answered the call. With their help, judging was
completed on schedule. In 2012 we will again be looking for judging
volunteers and if you have prior judging experience, it will be your way
to become more involved with Mustang Week!
Saturday
we closed the week with the annual Mustang Week Cruise-In. The Cruise-In
is the largest gathering of Mustangs and SVT’s found on the east coast and
the Tenth Anniversary of the event did not disappoint! Over 2000 cars
quickly filled the show field and surrounding lots. Grabberpony.com hosted
their 5th Annual Grabber Rally this year at the mall! Several
model-specific cruises added to
the
excitement! The annual Fox Body cruise, the SN95/New Edge cruise, the SVT
cruise, the S-197 cruise, and the Coyote cruise all gave participants to
roll into the Mustang Week Cruise-In in style! Participants and spectators
also got a chance to check out the Mustang Week Cruiser! One lucky
participant and parking volunteer even took one of the Mustang Week
editions home for himself! Just over 8000 people came out to the mall to
enjoy the fun on Saturday!
The
Tenth Anniversary Mustang Week was again a total success! Thank you to
everyone who attended and took part, especially the Mustang Week Sponsors,
vendors and participants! We are already hard at work to make sure 2012 is
even better!
