THE ACCELERATOR Mustang Memories 2013 Special Edition Page 2 The Accelerator - Mustang Memories 2012 Special Edition Mustang Memories 2013 another record breaking event and even further cementing MOCSEM and Mustang Memories on the all-time Mustang road map! The Boss's Corner By Mike Rey MOCSEM President Mike Rey President MOCSEM WOW! Dreams do come true and sometimes even better than you could ever imagine. After years of planning the Mustang Memories Event, I can say the one goal that myself and Ken Janus have always had in the back of our minds was to hit 1000 cars at Mustang Memories! Well when Pre registrations ended this year at 643 (all time record high) we knew we had a very strong possibility as long as the weather was nice! And boy was it ever! And when 9:00am rolled around and we were way past 800 cars already we knew it was for sure within reach as we took a ride to see the line of cars still waiting to get in was wrapped around the glass house! What a site! We opened overflow areas immediately and it was still early morning! Then the word came that we had indeed surpassed 1000 cars and they were still coming in! This was one of my all-time proudest moments in my career with the club! Just proves that if you try hard enough and always strive for improvement (which we do constantly) it will pay off by making dreams come true! Sponsors were beyond happy, crowd was beyond happy, kids were beyond happy! Just an amazing day, and to think the day could not get any better, I started the trophy presentation ceremony and had a couple guest speakers, one which was lifetime MOCSEM member and the man behind Ford Performance Group at Ford Racing, and one of the most knowledgeable Mustang men on the planet! John began to speak to the crowd, and this presentation was NOT on my agenda, so it had me puzzled, before I knew it I was being presented the most prestigious award in the automotive hobby, I was presented the Lee Iacocca Award by John Clor and my Vice President Ken Janus! I was speechless and quite emotional and beyond shocked, as there is no higher honor in our field! So talk about icing on the cake! No greater example than that if you ask me! I want to thank every single worker, all committee heads, all board of directors and my show committee as NONE of this would ever have happened without each and every one of you!

For the 2013 Mustang Memories I worked in the Merchandise tent. I worked the early morning shift, setting up the merchandise tables. I enjoy getting to see all the new merchandise that Tracey Rey has purchased. She has everything organized and labeled so that it was easy to find the merchandise for the customers. Once the gates open, we had a steady flow of customers. I always enjoy talking to the people who come to Mustang Memories, hearing stories about their cars and what brought them to the show. The Merchandise tent is also one of the places where people stop when they need help. We help them with whatever they need to make their car show experience a pleasant one. Working at Mustang Memories is always a rewarding experience. I look forward celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at Mustang Memories this August. Dawn Davis Secretary Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan • PO Box 39088, Redford, MI 48239 • www.mocsem.com The Accelerator - Mustang Memories 2012 Special Edition Mustang Memories was a huge success for merchandise. We were busy all day long and had very happy customers and record breaking sales. 50 year merchandise was the hot item of the day. Thank you to all my workers who volunteered their time and help making Merchandise a HUGE success! Tracey Rey I'd like to take the timeout to write my story about Mustang Memories. Being head of security I really don't get the chance to see the show as a whole but I do get to see it in bits and pieces. The story I most remember is the SVT guys, they are definitely a rowdy bunch! Some people brought things with their Mustangs. That bunch was really out there! Even with all of that I still had a wonderful time and with over a thousand cars it was well worth it! Tony Gulley Mustang Memories is not only about gathering Mustangs and having a good time it’s about people. Not just the people at the show or Mustang lovers this is MOCSEM’s largest fundraiser of the year. Because of this car show and the help from all our sponsors, we are able to fulfill our mission and donate thousands of dollars to numerous local and national charities at year end. This is what makes everything we do worthwhile. Rich Kocan Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan • PO Box 39088, Redford, MI 48239 • www.mocsem.com Page 13 Page 14 The Accelerator - Mustang Memories 2012 Special Edition Once again I worked Registration as I have for the past several years. Kathy Janus is our Chair for this area and she is the glue that holds us all together. For the past several years it has been the same group of women who work in Registration and we are like a well-oiled machine. We have a system and we have it down pat.....so as the saying goes " If it isn't broke, don't fix it!" Don't get me wrong, we do have our share of hiccups but we work together as a team to smooth them out. We stay calm, cool and collected, as we are the first group our attendees encounter, and we get the job done! As long as we continue to have Mustang Memories I will be proud to work in Registration. Melissa As everyone knows by now, Mustang Memories 2013 was a record-setting show. With over a thousand gorgeous cars and trucks, thousands of spectators, the largest Midway and Swap yet, the media team spent much of the day checking out the show through a view finder. There was just so much to photograph and video that the media teams were much busier than anticipated documenting it all. By the end of the day, the photography team had shot over 3900 photos, Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan • PO Box 39088, Redford, MI 48239 • www.mocsem.com The Accelerator - Mustang Memories 2012 Special Edition and the video team had shot several hours of video. The photography crew started shooting before the show opened by documenting preparations and setup. Once the show opened, our goal was to shoot every car and truck before each entered the show field. We came very close to meeting our goal. In addition to photographing more than a thousand vehicles in less than 4 hours, our photographers were busy documenting activities on the Midway, swap meet, and show field. As the show field began to fill, the video team began to document the action and sounds of the ongoing activities which continued throughout the entire day. The photos and videos are absolutely fantastic and we have a great record of the show. Over 1500 photos from Mustang Memories 2013 have been put online with SmugMug. Anyone can go to www.mocsem.smugmug.com and view the show photos and order prints. With the Mustang 50th Anniversary Celebration this year, Mustang Memories 2014 is sure to be the biggest and best Memories yet. So much so, that I would not be surprised to see 1500+ cars and trucks on the show field. With that, I am going to need 3-4 additional photographers to cover the show. If you have a dSLR and would be interested in photographing what is sure to be the largest one-day all-Ford show in the country, contact me, Gary Brewer at gbrewer1@charter.net.
