Woodward Dream Cruise 2009

[Greg@GLD]

Don't know if anyone from BCM plans to go this year, but...
As far as "Car Events" go the WDC is off the scale!
Hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks and bikes, over 2 million people converge on Greater Detroit for the weekend. There's so much "cool" you have to see it to believe it!
The Cruise is for anyone and everything. Think of the Hotrod Power Tour times 1,000.

http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/

For the Ford/Mustang fans, we have our own activities/events as well. "Mustang Alley" in Ferndale is the place to be! Ford is putting on a big show this year with a Friday cruise event to the Dearborn Proving Grounds. Motor City Terminators is sponsoring Mustang Alley as well. You can signup for parking here:

This event is worth the drive, be there!!!!

[STANMAN]

Been there more than a few times. AAMOF, I have only MISSED it a few times, lol. Mustang Alley is for sure the bomb for Mustang peeps, but you will see cars all weekend that you won't see at the highest end shows around the world. Back in "the day" prototypes and one off concepts didn't go into storage like they do today, they went home with engineers and the top brass if they took a liking to it, and you will see them out and about during the WDC. It's simply the best moving car show ever.

I know Shaun (1320PNY), Jason (Fanatic), and I plan on going. Trying to get the one, the only, the Boosted91Pony to go to......

Well let's setup a cruise over there to The Motor City Bob!
I stay at a decent place in Troy, up in the 'burbs, it's clean and safe and there's a place to wash/detail your car. I have some good connections at Ford Performance Group/SVT, some good friends of mine live right off Woodward in Royal Oak. Last year we had a primo-prime spot to watch the goings-on.

Here's some pix from last summer... :shades

For sure. Plan on leaving Friday AM I am thinking, but it's up to the whole group, I am pretty flexible. I am not sure of my accomodations yet, still trying to get in with one of my ex in-laws (who are much cooler than the actual ex:rolf), but if not, I think Jason has some rooms rented for us.

[FANAT1C]

Cant wait! Been wanting to do that cruise event for a few years now.


Pulled an all nighter and brought the car home this morning. When I got home I told the wife good morning, it was a quarter after 5am. I think I'm running out of steam. So far I only got two one hour naps.

By the way I've only blipped the throttle a few times and it's an animal! Getting pretty excited when I have the motor broke in. For being n/a it seemed to pull better than my s/c fox. It's definitely snappier! :thumbsup

** sorry for going slightly off topic, I'm pretty excited!

I usually leave early Friday, I like to stop in Jackson at Paul's High Performance and visit with Paul & Ronda & Karl & Jeff... If we don't make the ride together, I'll look for you guys at Ferndale... :thumbsup

As well you should be Jason! :thumbsup Hope we all can hook up at some point over there doood....

[FANAT1C]

I'm hoping to travel over there on Thursday.

As of right now I have 2 extra rooms (2 queen beds) available. It's an Econo Lodge and you get to park right outside your room! It's in madison Heights.

[STANMAN]

Would Shaun leave Thursday to??? The cruise pretty much starts the weekend before the actual weekend, so the earlier the better from my perspective:thumbsup Come on Greg, you know you want to!!!!

I don't think I can get off work Thursday. I stay up in Troy, near Big Beaver Road and I-75... (Insert the BCM Big Beaver Road jokes here)
It's really nice up there, good eateries... It's a straight shot right to Ferndale and I know my way around the side streets... I know a back way into Mustang Alley.

[STANMAN]

And I can't wait to see the car BTW!!

[Greg@GLD]

Jason, would you be OK with leaving Thursday if I can talk Shaun into it? The cruise pretty much starts the weekend before the actual weekend, so the earlier the better from my perspective:thumbsup

I guess I'll see you guys over there then... :)

[Greg@GLD]

And I can't wait to see the car BTW!!

Me also, he sounds pretty jacked up about it!!! :headbang

[STANMAN]

I guess I'll see you guys over there then... :)

I had to change my post, I thought YOU wanted to leave earlier. Come on Greg, you know you want to, we need the GT500 in our caravan!!!

[Greg@GLD]

I'd love to, I just don't want to screw up anyone else's plans. It's hard for me to get so many days off in a row. Maybe I can swing it though... Either way, we'll meet up over there. Keep me posted on what you guys decide to do!

[FANAT1C]

I had to change my post, I thought YOU wanted to leave earlier. Come on Greg, you know you want to, we need the GT500 in our caravan!!!

Strongly agreed!!!


I'm not sure of Shaun's plan but we need to get him to travel out there Thursday also.


Bob, Imagine your cars sound multiplied by 10! Went with Pypes Violators turned down before the axle. I definitly wont be able to "sneek" up on anyone. Besides the sound you can see the sumped tank, pump and hoses. It's stock? :D

[STANMAN]

That will be loud, and I am sure I will love it! We have to roll into the Motown and show them how we represent!! I think after Shaun gets back (he's either on, or soon to be on, vacation in France) we will be able to nail down some concrete times Greg:thumbsup

Ok cool... If you haven't done so already I strongly suggest you guys sign up for spots at Mustang Alley, you aren't obligated to take them, you are basically reserving spots and you pay on the morning of the event.

[FANAT1C]

Registered. Thanks for the link Greg!

[1320PNY]

Registered. I'm leaving Thursday morning and I'm probably going to get out of Detroit and come back on Saturday.

[yellow vert]

Woodward Dream Cruise is defiantly the best show of the year. We get there on Wednesday to do more cruising on Wednesday and Thursday unlike Friday and Saturday “just to many cars”. But for us we park in Royal Oak at Royal Oak Ford. John Vermeersch of Total Performance sets it up the parking. The cars that park there are the cars that dominated Woodward back in the day.

We were in that lot for awhile last year! :thumbsup

[yellow vert]

Another thing for the guys that are going on Thursday Roush is having an open house at there head quarters in Livonia. It was pretty cool last year.

[STANMAN]

Getting closer, who's all going, and when:thumbsup

[Greg@GLD]

Getting closer, who's all going, and when:thumbsup

I can't leave until Friday, I have to work Thursday Bob.
Also, I have a reservation at the Motor City Terminators lot if anyone wants it, as I got a reserved spot thru SVTOA right in the middle of Woodward in Royal Oak, with "come and go" privileges so that's where I will be "stationed" for the weekend. I'm staying in Troy, which is a short drive to my parking space.

PM me some cell numbers you guys, so we can hook up out there.
My car should be easy to spot anyway. ;)
Let's have dinner or lunch or something... :thumbsup

Is the MCT spot a come and go spot as well? I think so if I remember right that there were cars coming and going all day through Mustang Alley. Regardless, I will take it, saves me the time of signing up I guess, lol.

[STANMAN]

Greg, do you plan on doing the Dearborn stuff on Friday??? If so, we can hook up in the AM for breakfest, because I am thinking Jason, Shaun, and I will be rocking that.

Several of our product specialists will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

We'll close out the event and have you back in your cars and on your way around 4:00PM.

Greg, I registered for this event, but had to reserve a spot on Mustang Alley. I am sure Shaun or Jason will take your reserved spot. Are you trying to get in on this thing, it sounds like a great time, but it is pretty early.

[Greg@GLD]

I'm going to try to take off on Thursday. Then I can make it. This sounds too cool to miss!!! I can keep both my spots, I have a nice spot out on the Avenue thru SVTOA and I can keep my spot at MA also.

[1320PNY]

I registered last week for the track day, but haven't gotten an e-mail response yet. I'm down for some track time. We took the car out last night and had some fun with all the nuckleheads headed to Madison. Today we did a Kettle Moraine scenic cruise and kept it moslty civil. I think the two weeks away from my car makes me appreciate it that much more.

Anyway, it does look like yes, I will leave Thursday morning...

[FANAT1C]

For anyone who is needing a room near the Dream Cruise. I had reserved 3 rooms at an Econo Lodge. All rooms have 2 queen beds and you park right outside the door.
If you're interested please let me know by this Sunday morning. I'll be cancelling the rooms later that day.

Just for "others" know I'm still going, I just had a couple changes to the trip. The wife has decided to stay home with the kids. Woohoo! But I'm supposed to behave! lol

[1320PNY]

Wooo hoo!!! I'm in!!! Just got the e-mail!! :banana

So far it looks clear in Detroit from Wed through Sunday. Any reports on who's headed out, when, and where from?

I vote Flying J (just South of airport) at 8:30 AM Thursday morning. We can surf the wave between rush hour and lunch. It is on the way to the Skyway. We will have to fuel up just before the IL border anyway, or else face the possibility of fueling in Gary, IN.

So who's on board?

I have made several trips over there in three different Mustangs- Usually you can make it easily into Michigan, well past Gary and that's from way up here where I live... I also usually go right thru downtown Chicago and stay on 94 unless it's torn up now? Even with the "45" speed limit, everybody's going much faster...
But it's fine by me whatever route you guys want to take?

Yeah, I have been to Detroit about a gazillion times (ex was from there, so lots of trips home), it's easiest to stay on 94. We can also use a route via our GPS's that avoid tolls. You get to see some nice neighborhoods (emphasis on the "hoods") that way. But 8:30 at the Flying J is fine by me.

I was gonna borrow a friend's IPASS for the tolls... There's only a few anyway, one just past the state line and the one around the turn at the spilt between 94 and 294?

Weather's lookin' good dues!!! :thumbsup

[1320PNY]

Still meeting at Flying J. If you want to pull off at 20, that's fine, but Jason is coming down Hwy 100 so we should all meet there and then roll. Keeping on 94 is probably a good idea. 8:30 at the J is convenient and the extra stop at 20 isn't going to hurt anyone.

Still meeting at Flying J. If you want to pull off at 20, that's fine, but Jason is coming down Hwy 100 so we should all meet there and then roll. Keeping on 94 is probably a good idea. 8:30 at the J is convenient and the extra stop at 20 isn't going to hurt anyone.
