    look they had someone at every turnoff on the way in there last year . i'm sure there is a way to have the first day there. they are not going to advertise it on Hotrod and then pull it .Too many people that were there last year will be pretty pissed if they did that . would be huge bad PR !

    By the way Linda , get use to seeing my plates on the back of my car ! I see a showdown it Gateway !
    Has anyone seen my fan?

      It is possible that they will let everyone in for saturday, but there was a newspaper release about Mt. Clemens earlier? Guess we'll have to wait and see...

        The Mt. Clemens release was part of what I was considering too. Plus I am having a hard time seeing the proving grounds being willing to deal with the public expecting to be able to come & go as they please during the Saturday show. But a Sunday morning drivers meeting only for the participants would probably be a lot more agreeable to them.

          It is Saturday at the Proving Grounds! I and some friends have talked to Hot Rod people we know and it is confirmed as th elocation for the first stop. Mt Clemons and the other places that claimed it was coming can blow some more smoke...lol

                I was just providing a link to my info. There are bits of information that I get from all over. I got a tweet from a friend that gave the heads up on one of the stops on the Power Tour, it was a local News story, but Hot Rod had not told anyone about the stop just yet. It's a team effort

                  So where is the info on the earlier in the week events coming from? Is it confirmed yet or not? I would like to catch some of it.

                    It is hard to find info in FB if you don't keep up on it, first go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotRodPT/ then look for the message by Sam Taurina
                    That reads, "Sorry if this is already mentioned and I missed it, but is the Detroit location at the metro beach motor park again? Or in the actual city of Detroit?"

                    the Click on the comments from "Don Nicholson" from Friday the 6th of Jan.

                    that goes like this:
                    "Ok,, If you were thinking of skipping the Detroit section of the Power tour",,

                    You can read the rest, which is what I posted, I did not make it up

                    It is not that hard to do, but it is not like I'm posting rumors. I am all for posting links with my info, I realize not everyone is that INTERNET savvy, and we all can learn

                          No need to get your underware in a bunch on my account. I wasn't trying to accuse you of making anything up. Just wanting to find some kind of a confirmation on the events that you listed earlier in the week before I committed the time & money to go early. The kids & grandkids have had me on facebook for quite awhile. I just don't do much with it. So I had to find the "View all 11 comments" link for the light to finally come on. Then I was able to see the rest of the comments that you were talking about.

                          That is your 2nd gen Camaro avatar picture on facebook isn't it? Or did I think that I figured out more than I really did.

                            I think you read it wrong, or maybe I typed it wrong. I was just walking you thru how to find the info, no one on BangShift gets the panties in a bind. It took me a while to find it the second time
