  • Gm proving grounds???? 6/2/2012

    What is this whole thing about the GM PROVING GROUNDS on the 2nd They actually going to hold the show there? or are they getting it confused with the GM Tech Center?...and wasn't there an article about Mt Clemens hosting it downtown in a local paper?

      yeah, I see them cutting a deal for a special # of people to get in the proving grounds, e.g. last years longhaul deal, but no way they are letting 10,000 undocumented people in there.....although they do allow them in Washington.
      Maybe I can clear this up.....I thought the cop was a prostitute.

        Well if you'all wouldn't let them in then they wouldn't be able to be in Washington! ;-)

          After talking with Craig from GM Performance and what it took to get the long hauler ceremony held at the proving grounds, I don't see anyway that it will happen again.

            I pulled it up from the Family Events calendar, specifically the Hotel booking section, where the venue is shown as a green pin, with the description of Proving Grounds. There are lots of different areas within that section of property.

                when i do that it shows the green spot at about where the GM Tech Center is...

                But there was also that newspaper article saying it was going to be in downtown Mnt Clemens.

                  I think if you look at the green teardrop, and then look at the list of hotels, and their distances from the venue, it sure looks like it's going to be the Tech Center. And, a recap of one of the newspaper articles......

                      Adding to the confusion, the Autopalooza site says the HRPT will be at the Proving Grounds...

                          If you go to Family Events and click on book hotels it "says" Gm Proving Grounds but all the hotels are listed in Warren near the GM TECH CENTER.................none near Milford, MI. 50 miles away.

                            I stand by my "no proving grounds" prediction.....last year was probably an act of God.

                              If you read it, it seems to be last year's announcement, since it talks about the final stop being Detroit. I agree with others that GM will not open the Milford site again for this. I think we had a once in a lifetime event...
