Okay...I know that there are already a few other threads going on in this forum, but I think it would be good to make ONE thread for discussion about the event. I know it will not be all that active at first because we are still a few months away (for a change), but it will be a good place for me to post news and announcements. That way, everyone who is interested can subscribe to the thread (by clicking the "Subscribe to this Thread" link at the bottom of this page) and get updates in case they forget to check the event web site.

So, click the "Subscribe to this Thread" link at the bottom, maybe post questions & comments when you can come up with them and plan for the best Michigan GM Event yet!

M8 - The 8th Annual Michigan GM Event OFFICIAL THREAD
Hey! Let's start talking about M7! Official details inside!

 

Jason,

Whats the word on a group rate for the hotel?

 

That's next on my list. I expect to get that info in the coming week.

So, you guys who are gonna get the jacuzzi/party suites, keep watching!

 

Thats the plan.. starting a new tradition i think.

 

<-- first person to pre-register this year. Just hope the car doesn't grenade before then. I wanna run quick 16 this year

 

Still trying to get in touch with the person for the hotel group rate information. Bad timing when I call.

On a side note, we are again going to be raffling off a bunch of goodies, including a Nitrous Express EFI or Carb kit!

ALSO...
We have a new event sponsor! AMS Merchandise carries officially licensed Camaro SS and Firehawk wearables, and they are expected to have a display set up at the event. By then, they may have additional items such as Z28 and WS6 merchandise.

 

HOTEL GROUP RATE INFORMATION!

http://www.migmevent.com/m9/hotelinfo.shtml

The rates have not gone up since last year.

So, book your room and pre-register and save a few bucks!

 

Just reserved my room.

Party will be in the Suite like last year.

Just remember, what happens in the suite, stays in the suite!

 

Sweeeeeeeet!

 

I am happy to report that Aggressive Auto is now a sponsor of M9!

Many of us here know Bruce at Aggressive and know that he not only works on LT1/LS1 cars but has a lot of customers who own Turbo Buicks. In the past couple of years, attendance of Turbo Buick cars at the M Events has tapered off somewhat, and I am not really sure why. Hopefully he can bring a few more to the event to give the f-bodies more competition!

 

Jay, did Bruce say if he was going to come to the event or not?

 

Well, I am not sure, we didn't get that far. I gave him the date and the info, talked with him for a few minutes and that was it.

I am supposed to talk to him again in a couple of weeks.

 

I hope my car is together by then. Progress is nearly as slow as it was last year.

 

Is this like a show up and drag kinda thing or do you have to pre-register your car or anything? Sounds like fun.

 

Yes, or...

It is! 9 years of doing this event and it gets bigger and better each year. What's that tell you?
