It’s Showtime! By Mike Rey, MOCSEM President Well the time has finally come, and here we are just days before the biggest event in my tenure here! Our show this year has taken off like a rocket ship and so has our club. When I said I want this to be the greatest year ever for MOCSEM, I guess you can refer to the old quote, "Be Careful what you wish for..." But this is a good thing! In my opinion this is by far the best year we have ever had in every area possible, with Mustang Memories being the major Highlight. It isn't even here yet, and I wish I had more time to get more things done and organized. Somehow, someway we always pull through. This show is going to be amazing. We will have major media coverage from all of the Mustang publications, Motor Trend, Auto Week, etc. Hopefully a couple of TV news stations and local papers will also be at our event. It is shaping up to be the best show most of us have ever seen. Continued on Page 4… Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan • PO Box 39088, Redford, MI 48239 • www.mocsem.com Page 2 The Accelerator About the Club The Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan (MOCSEM) was founded in November 1975 by a group of individuals with the desire to protect and preserve the Ford Mustang as one of the most attractive and fun filled cars ever made available. We are enthusiasts of all ages with a love affair of the many generations of America’s Premiere Pony Car. Whether it’s a coupe, convertible or fastback from 1964½ to the 2005 GT or the 2007 Cobra, we love them all. The mission of club members is to collect, restore and preserve the history of the Mustang along with the stories of the people and the roles that they played in making this one of the great cars of the 20th Century. Although ownership is not a requirement for membership, your enthusiasm, expertise and and/or love of the automobile are most welcome. Many of our club members own one or more Mustangs in varying body styles, models and years. Club members are always exchanging information, providing sources for parts, literature and helpful hints for restoring or maintaining their Mustangs. Our members are a diverse group of individuals, located throughout Southeastern Michigan and all share a great appreciation for the Ford Mustang. Our general membership meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Our monthly newsletter, The Accelerator, provides the members with reports on club activities, technical information, advertisements and business service locations and more. Some club activities include car shows, picnics, sporting events, cruise nights and technical sessions.

We start out with the tour of the Flat Rock Assembly plant on Thursday, August 5th. The plant is allowing us a few more spots per tour so that anyone who was already on the waiting list can now attend. The plant is also allowing us to hold a cruise-in at the plant between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm so you can come and hang out with the club while you wait for your tour to start. This will take place in the visitor’s lot at the Admin building. Tours are at 9:30 am and 12:30 pm. We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your tour. For plant safety reasons you must wear closed, comfortable shoes—no open toe, heelless or high heels. You must wear long pants and a long sleeved shirt. You will not be allowed on the tour if you do not adhere to these rules. No exceptions. The tour is just a warm-up for MOCSEM’s biggest event of the year, the Mustang Memories All Ford Car Show and Swap Meet which takes place at Ford World Headquarters on Sunday, August 8th. We’re counting on MOCSEM members to show up in big numbers this year, so please try to make it out there and show your support for MOCSEM and the charities we support. Please visit www.mocsem.com for late breaking news about the show. If you looked at the calendar for August, you might be confused about a couple events. There is a car show at Culver’s in Westland on the 11th and an ice cream social on the 15th. This is not an error. The ice cream social is a regular MOCSEM event and the car show on the 11th is a show that Culver’s is putting on that is open to the public. Culver’s loves having us out there so we encourage you to attend both events. Our regular 3rd Thursday Cruise-In will be held at the A&W Drive-In in Berkley the Thursday before the Woodward Dream Cruise. This will be a great way to warm up for the big event and A&W is offering a special menu just for cruisers. And don’t forget that Classic Design Concepts and MRT are both having pre-cruise events in the days prior to the Dream Cruise. It’s Showtime! …continued from Page 1 Major sponsors have been added such as Steeda, ROUSH and more. We have the amazing honor of having the winner of the Mustang Dream Giveaway accepting his keys to the 2 cars at our show! And just in case you forgot, the show is being held at the Ford World Headquarters! What more can we possibly ask for besides great weather all day and some more help with parking and security? The product raffle will far surpass any in the past, Ford executives will be on the grounds, etc. I cannot say enough about our show this year. I cannot state this enough that we need to be as close to perfect as possible. EVERYONE is watching us on this one. But I have faith and trust that our club will once again bond together to pull off the greatest show on earth! So Stay tuned next month for hopefully the best article and news I can possibly report! OK, I am back to work on the show. These are the final days, and there is still months of stuff to be done. I would also like to ask that please, especially if you are a club member, bring your car out to our show and support the club we all love so much. We have 400 members and usually only get 100 cars out to the show from club. I would like to see that number doubled this year. So I hope to see everyone at the "Greatest Show on Earth" Mustang Memories 2010! MOCSEM Invades MIS! By Mike Rey, MOCSEM President The Woodward Dream Cruise takes place on Saturday the 21st. MOCSEM will again have dedicated parking at Mustang Alley on 9 Mile in Ferndale. The exact location has not been finalized at this point, so keep watching www.mocsem.com for more information. Rounding out the month is the car show at the NMCA Muscle Car Nationals at Milan Dragway on the 28 th and 29th. MOCSEM is the host club for this show and we are still in need of a few volunteers to work at the show. If you haven’t already, please consider signing up to help at www.mocsem.com or by contacting Craig Zygmunt. MOCSEM receives a portion of the show proceeds so your efforts at the show benefit MOCSEM and the charities we support. The last thing we want everyone to be aware of is a change of location for the September General Meeting. Classic Design Concepts in Novi has graciously invited us to hold the September general meeting in their showroom and they’re even providing dinner. This is a great way to check out the awesome products available from CDC, a huge supporter of MOCSEM. The August meeting will be held at the normal location, Hawthorne Valley. MOCSEM Members on the Oval at MIS All I can say is WOW! What an event! We all knew the Onsted Kiwanis show at MIS would be cool, but it exceeded all of our expectations to say the least. We had 88 cars registered and that's with a number of cancellations. With that being said if we can have a turnout of 88 cars at Onsted, I would love to see 200 MOCSEM members at our OWN show at World Headquarters on August 8th! Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan • PO Box 39088, Redford, MI 48239 • www.mocsem.com The Accelerator Page 5 Back to Onsted and MIS, In my tenure with the club, besides our own Mustang Memories Event, I do not think any other event has topped this one. What a weekend! All MOCSEM members were treated like royalty from the second we pulled in on Friday night until we left on Saturday night. Another special "Thank You" to Brian Ahern and John Springer and their whole staff, a very well organized and very well run event all weekend! To drive on the track was simply amazing and a ton of fun. When we all got out afterwards I think we all just felt as if we had just won a NASCAR Race! My Mustang Saved My Life – Twice By Katie Haddad, MOCSEM Member If you missed this experience, I will be working with the staff at Onsted to make this happen again! I would like to state and I am sure that everyone in attendance there this weekend will back me up, this event alone was well worth the yearly membership dues alone! Amazing time, amazing people and a ton of fun that none of us will ever forget! What Being in a Car Club Means By Mike Rey, MOCSEM President Club Members Help Get Ken Janus back on the Road I cannot express how PROUD I am of our car club, over the last month especially. I mean it started in Carlisle with Gary Kohn breaking down on the freeway, then a new member's car having problems at the Downriver Cruise, then a couple with a '65 Mustang had a tailight problem at the Port Huron Cruise, then our VP threw his Alternator Belt while going around the track at MIS. Each and every time there was always a ton of assistance and club members stepping up to assist and make things right for all of our fellow members! I joined MOCSEM in April but I have been coming to the club meetings since January and have loved it ever since. I have loved mustangs for as long as i can remember. My first car was a yellow 2004 Mustang GT, my 17th birthday present. I was so sad when I had to give it back because it was a lease, so I told myself that I would get another one someday. That's what I did. I worked hard to save up enough money to get one, and I finally did. I got my orange and lime green baby. After having it for just over one year I got in a bad car accident when a lady hit me right in the drivers side. I ended up with a closed head injury and a really bad back ache. Then my baby got fixed and I got it back and I was so happy. Then exactly 2 years and 13 days from the first accident I got in another really, really bad car accident when a man ran through a stop sign and crossed over 4 lanes doing approximately 60 mph and ran into the drivers side of my Mustang AGAIN. This time I came out with about 20 injuries,but the worst were a broken neck and being paralyzed. Sitting in the hospital for 20 days stunk too! I have to say if I hadn't been in that Mustang I probably wouldn't be here today. It saved my life. Twice. I love that car. And so here I am today able to walk, still in a lot of pain most of the time but I'm alive thanks to my 2007 Mustang GT. THAT is what this club is all about and I am VERY PROUD and HONORED to say I am President of an amazing club with an outstanding Board of Directors and the BEST members a club could ever dream of having! I walk very proudly and hold my head up high and proudly state we are MOCSEM! Thank you all for making this club what a club is supposed to be! Just witnessing all this and taking it all in first hand is my personal paycheck, that we are all working as a team and making positive things happen! And putting us at the TOP and I mean in the TOP 5 Mustang Clubs in the U.S.! Please keep up the good work and make me and all fellow members proud, and lets put on the best Mustang Memories show anyone has ever seen at the Ford World Headquarters on Sunday, August 8th!
