2014 DETROIT AUTORAMA...Goin',Show'n ?

us too!

 

Myles and I will be there again this year but sadly without the "Ghost Rider Roadster". I would like to bring it back and show it again on the main (lower level) floor next year, but I don't know if Rudy will have me. Anyway I will be the old guy wearing the jacket so if you see me wondering around in a daze.....say hello, would you ? Hope you have a great time !

WHAT DAY ARE YOU LEAVIN KYLE?

using the mobile hamb app in the capital of the 51st state

 

Anyone know if they are going to have the valve cover race track downstairs?
Got an old valve cover racer my son and I built in the 80's. It would be fun to bring it and see if she still runs good.
I let my buddy borrow it in late 80's out on the West Coast. He repainted it and got some kind of "Street Rodder'" award. Last time I had it out was 1999 in Columbus. Did not win the races but I got a nice plaque for "Best Bitchin Valve cover".

 

Deadlast Car Club are having the valve cover races again this year.

 

Àny rules, or is it run what you brung?

 

I am assuming you are showing upstairs which is the only part that I am somewhat familiar with. If I was you I would get off 75 so that you can get on Fort St. Once you get off and get close you will not miss all of the trailers lined up on Fort St. I have waited for hours on Fort St and last year they had some of us on another street out of the way where we would wait until they fed us one by one onto Fort St. There should be a few police officers there directing where you should go. Patience is a virtue they say.

Once you get in line then it is a simple process of waiting and following directions of the staff to direct you to the entrance of Cobo where you can go right into the arena and off load and set up. Since I am local and drag my trailer home I am not sure of where you can park your trailer down there or at the hotel you are staying at. What car are you bringing will look it up? Hope this helps and good luck

 

3PM on Saturday is the actual race, but I think the ramp will be up the whole show to play with.

I'm not actually affiliated with Deadlast CC, but from what I understand, it's no rules.

Deadlast CC has a facebook event created for more info.

Jim, Good info. Ft Street it is. Yes, I'm upstairs. I'll be in my avatar ('34 Plymouth) but with new paint, flames/graphics, wheels/tires, redesiged grille shell/insert, and a bunch of other small freshen up items. - - - and a DAMPER!!!


We've put alot of effort into our display too.


I've been told that the show provides a lot for trailers a few blocks away for about $100. Well spent money if it's secure.
