Just so everyone knows... the stretch between 12 to 13 mile is usually the epicenter of the activities. Chrysler/Dodge/jeep usually buys up the corner parking lot @ 13 mile and has about 40 to 50 cars there, past and concepts. Even trying to drive around is pretty much pointless... stop and go bumper to bumper traffic for miles. One more thing...The tickets for squealing tires or racing are RIDICULOUS! As soon as you get into Bloomfield Hills/north Birmingham area, the traffic thins out until pontiac. There's very little sidewalk there so the crowds are much smaller. This is the best place for getting a little "squirrelly" if you know what I mean.

For all the first timers...prepare to be blown away! Cars as far as the eyes can see...literally over a million people at the event!

The event is supposed to be a saturday event, but in reality, starting the tuesday before, things get pretty busy every night! So if you get here early, don't be afraid of being bored! I pretty much make it a nightly event for the whole week.

Oh ya...as of this morning...I paid $3.65 per gallon for gas...Michigan has a 19 cent per gallon tax!
