Hello fellow Ford and Mustang enthusiasts,

My name is Tim Stieve, and I have the privilege of serving as the Director of the Team Shelby Great Lakes Region. As a long-time member of the Mustang community and a former national director for the Mustang Club of America, I know firsthand how powerful it is when passionate people come together.

My vision for our region is simple: to unite Ford and Mustang fans across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois into a welcoming, supportive, and independent community. Whether you drive a Model T, a Shelby, a Ford GT, or anything in between, you belong here. You don’t need to own a Shelby to join us—just bring your enthusiasm and love for the brand.

What drew me to Shelby was Carroll Shelby’s spirit—his willingness to take risks, learn from setbacks, and always get back up. I’m inspired by his commitment to giving back, both through his own charities and by encouraging others to do the same. Our club reflects those values, with clearly defined roles at the regional level and a focus on enjoying our cars and each other’s company. We host track events, cruises, dinners, and multi-day gatherings, all designed to help us connect and have fun.

If you’re part of a Ford-based club and are interested in collaborating or learning more about tsgreatlakes, I encourage you to reach out. I’d be happy to connect you with representatives from our affiliated clubs so you can hear directly from those involved. Each club operates independently, but we’re all united by our shared passion for Ford and the friendships we build along the way.

Thank you for being part of this incredible community. I look forward to meeting you on the road, at an event, or wherever our shared enthusiasm takes us.

Best regards,
Tim Stieve
Director, Team Shelby Great Lakes Region
