And here is an update to the first one...

We will be having an Experience Woodward Cruise Night in Ferndale on Thursday, May 31 . This is the community that started the Woodward Dream Cruise to raise money for a soccer field. However, people have been crusing Woodward for years as the city expanded to the northern suburbs after WWII- My mom raced a '55 Mercury Monclair, when she wasn't driving her brothers '54 Corvette (which he still owns). I am working with the City of Ferndale (9 mile)to coordinate a police escort north on Woodard into the other communities like Berkley and Royal Oak (got check out Duggan's Irish Pub) and Birmingham, which play a major role in the August Event.

Also just announced, The Lingenfelter Collection which includes over 200 cars and keeps around 145 at their facility in Brighton Michigan are planning to open the collection on Friday, June 1, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m..

There will be no charge for Hot Rod Power Tour participants and are located approximately 6 miles from the GM Milford Proving Grounds. They are planning to open the collection on Friday, June 1, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m.. There will be no charge for Hot Rod Power Tour participants.

Check out Autopalooza.org for more information.

agreed.....and there is a track in western Missouri, Mo-Kan Dragway in Asbury, MO (about 30-35 miles from Miami, OK) whose owners are thinking about opening, if there's a sufficient amount of interest (it's on the run into Miami, OK); there's a post on it on the board......and, for those who might be interested, I'm told there are two "junkyards" alongside I-55, one just south of Springfield, IL, the other just before getting into the Madison, IL-St Louis area, both of which have old muscle cars (some rustier than others, I suppose)...

do you have or can you get, any more info on those junk yards?

[rexdogg]

I agree, I would think that Gateway would provide drag racing.

Does anyone know if we are going to get to race and or autocross on tour this year, if so when and where. I have searched but not been able to find anything yet.

[pappyhemi]

thought I saw somewhere(?), that early PT registration on Friday afternoon was at the Warren City Hall.....anyone else see that?

I too saw that, it may have been on the Family Events site when I was registering.

[oletrux4evr]

I saw that but can't find it again.......

updated 2 days ago by Mike Copeland under “First Ever BangShift Gathering and Party and Concert in General Discussion

"I thought we would start about 6:00 on Friday evening. That would give everyone time to get to Michigan, and register at the PT venue. You are more than welcome to bring your equipment to the shop any day you want. We have plenty room.

You can start setting up anytime Friday. The store will be open Thursday from 9 to 7, and again 9-7 on Friday. You will not interfer with our normial business. You can pick your stuff up on Saturday if you want. We will be open from 9 to 5, or we can arrange to meet there if you can't make it while we are open.
I am planning to do the long haul again this year. Some of my people will most likely make the run to Muskegon with the tour on Sunday. It is only a couple hours from my shop to the Muskegon venue."
