"As far as meeting places, where to go, etc. – I’m not sure. I’m new to MI and have never been to Detroit in my life. Hopefully some of our local members/participants will be able to spearhead that part (Please . . . )."

Alright well here we go for places to meet and go.

1. DCX HQ the hotel that everyone is staying at is right across from DCX HQ so we could pay a visit, maybe they will let us on the test track out back!!! (very unlikely).
