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.
This will be my first time attending - so open to any advice!
Welcome and I have just added you to the list inpost #2 I assume you will be making a reservation at our host hotel in Auburn Hills
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
