Wish I could have gone but what we should do for next year is start planning early to meet up after events to cruise or what ever. Make our own "svtp event."
This was my 6th year and it was one of the best.. They did a great job on planning events and the weather even was great.. The week is what you make it.. You can stay in your hotels and watch TV or get out and have some fun.. Lots to do with a lot of great people... :beer: My only thing was @ the Party Like A Rockstar Night me and my friends stopped in to try to be a rock star.. We walked up and a lot of people hanging outside I figure someone would say whats up but nobody did.. Kind of made my friends feel like they drove up in a import.. I have been looking forward to making this event since last year and talking it up to my friends on how SVTP was but I have to say it was a let down.. We did not feel welcomed at all only one person came over to talk he was from Ford Racing Nation.. But still had fun checking out all the sweet rides.. I am still going next year just going to make it earlier.. :rockon:
My family had a blast, it was awesome getting to have beers with steve, the barton guys, the LRS crew, Jayman, and travis after the coyote cruise. After the MW events we took the kids to the beach and checked out the MB attractions. It was my vacation this year. I didnt need to go trolling for races or go stand around in a parking lot after standing in a parking lot. I'll be back in 2014 after I get my happy ass back from Bahrain.
Was nice meeting ya as well. Just be safe over there and get back. In 2014, beers are on me for the coyote cruise. :beer:
Mustangweek isnt an nmra/ fun ford weekend. Its a vacation. Most people are with family. Not sure how its mustangweeks fault no one wanted to hang with you. My guess people wanted to relax and go to the beach.
One thing my club did talk about amongst ourselves and others was the burnout contest. and I was wanting to see what others though....wouldn't it be better if it was held in the middle of the speedway, where the auto cross is held, instead of on the front stretch? The front stretch has walls on both sides, and to top it off this year there were wrecked cars along the side for the after show. If it were in the middle there would be tons more room and I know alot we talked to have said they would feel more comfortable participating if it was there..is there a reason it's not?
great job MW staff for continuing to put on a great show for us!
Steve I really wish I would have gotten to meet you while there since we cross paths on several different forums.
my buddy did the burnout contest and I;m pretty sure he told me that they're told they have to keep moving and just cant sit there while doing the "burnout" contest

Love going, been every year. But i think the burn-outs leaving hooters will put Mustang Week in lingo, hate to see it cancelled because of it but i love smelling rubber and fast cars.
I've thought quite a bit about how to improve the burnout contest, and others have made the same suggestion you're making. There's a couple problems with holding it in the infield though. First, it would be much harder for the people in the stands to see it. Since the contest relies on crowd participation to select a winner everyone needs a good view. Second, it would make media coverage more challenging. Since the sponsors of the event need exposure to make their contributions worthwhile we want to give them the best coverage possible. Third, it's safer to have the cars on the track, because people would be standing right next to a fairly low wall around the infield. Finally, it takes a lot more skill to control your car well, put on a good show, and keep it out of the wall on the front stretch than it would performing in an open lot. This makes for a better show, and really separates those who can control a car from those just spinning their tires.
