I'll be there Alan and this time I'll have the Safari there.I'll be in touch about doing a couple of trophies.I'll also post the info(or Ian will)over on the Pinstriper's Page.
I would love to have mine driveable for this show..time will tell It was a great place for this show last year.
Yeah! Looking forward to it! A tradtional style hot rod and custom event in my favorite Detroit area park.
we will do a better job with the parking signage this year. Last year was our first at the venue, you learn something new every time. dont know about a shuttle... will have to look into that. GREAT idea though. I wonder if there is a vintage bus or two in the area? That would be pretty cool.
Hey, looks like a good reason to go back to my hometown again. Maybe I will have my new Caddy done by then. Count me in
Went to the Sidetrack in Depot Town with BenD last night. Gave him the nickel tour of the area including the park. He just might attend Billetproff again after a many year absence he was that impressed with the location.
aNY WORD ON EVENTS FRIDAY NIGHT? a GROUP OF US WENT LAST YEAR AND NOT MUCH HAPPENED BESIDES US DRINKING IN OUR MOTEL PARKING LOT TILL ABOUT 3AM MET SOME GREAT GUYS FROM CANADA LOOKING FOR THE SAME THINGS
last year it was a little over 400 cars and 1000+ people (right off the top of my head I can dig in the records and look up the exact numbers is needed). A pretty nice swap meet and lots of vendors. Look at it this way, if you spend 1 minute looking at each car thats over 6 hours . Not too bad. great location, good entertainment nearby and great folks.
