Hello - I will be attending:
David Preston
Rochester Hills, Michigan
Friday & Saturday
2004 Startech Crossfire Ltd. 3.8L Coupe
Saphire Blue Metallic

 

Hello David
Looking forward to seeing you and your Startech Crossfire
I believe this might be the first time many will see a Startech Crossfire

 

Trip might be worth taking to just see this Startech Crossfire up close.

 

Woodward has been attended every year since 2007 by the Crossfires and thousands of cars overall but I'm sure this will be the first Startech Crossfire in attendance.
This particular event never disappoints and I have never missed the opportunity to host this event for the past 17 years !!!
Hope you will come join us and experience the event.

 

His Guys - I am flattered by the interest in my Startech! I will be there! Besides performance, I was just not aware that there is that much of difference between a Startech and the traditional Crossfires. But, I'll happily be here! Thanks for the kind words.

 

Attendance list for the Woodward Dream Cruise 2025 here is up to date in POST #2

Welcome and I have just added you to the list in post #2

We will have a place on Friday and Saturday nights for dinners - It will be posted at a later date
No real advice other than to bring a couple of comfortable folding chairs that will fit in your car over the weekend
We usually gather in Memorial Park on Friday and Saturday and set up a chairs
Once you have arrived just blend in with the rest of us and be sure to introduce yourselves
We welcome new folks every year and look forward to having you with us
