I'm going up on the previous Sunday or Monday, and won't return till the following Monday. Just me, wife says if you want a vacation, then go. I was also at the Car Craft Summer Cruise and to the Thirdgen Fest in Crete, Illinois this summer.

we have a lot at 11 mile and woodward. still a couple spots left if anyone needs one. Livernois has their dyno set up in our lot, there will be free food for all those who paid for a parking spot, etc. Michigan Speed is hosting, Motown Muscle is sharing, and we have a corvette club pitching in too.
I'll be there in my 87 'vert Iroc-Z, and I know DJCobol will be there in his vert Iroc as well.

I am also interested in a spot. I will drive by Thursday night and check it.

I was at the corner of Normandy walking at 830 Wednesday night. Now I know what kind of car to look for. Mine is navy blue, bra on front, sliver around bottom, with IOWA plates (front and rear).

Woodward results!
I was at the 2005 Woodward Dream Cruise yesterday with my local car club Michigan Speed (http://www.michiganspeed.com). We were partnered with Motown Muscle and had a parking lot rented. It turns out that we were also co-sponsored by Livernois Motorsports, and as part of the deal, we got to put our cars up onto their portable chassis dyno for two free pulls! So, I was the last one of the night. The Trans Am was the quietest of the cars that they put up there on the portable chassis dyno, and they had a few difficulties with the off-idle tune, which likes to buck. However, once they got the car rolling smoothly in fourth gear, they floored it and took the car to 6500 RPM for two pulls. The sound from outside the car grew from near-silent idle to a powerful roar, and it was awesome. It revved freely and sounded wicked. Unfortunately at the end of the second run, the generator ran out of gas, the UPS took a dump, and they were unable to print out the dyno sheet. However, we all got to see the graph which shows lots of little spikes and flat spots, indicating a non-optimal tune before the laptop also quit.
Even so, it looks like at about 5800 RPM the car, even while running through the old Feeble305's Edelbrock TES headers, put approximately 385 - 395 horsepower to the rear wheels. Livernois is going to try and email the graphs to me later in the week, because we couldnt measure it exactly due to the laptop's failing battery.
My thanks to Livernois for tirelessly working their butts off the whole day on getting all those cars across the dyno. Woodward Dream Cruise was unbelieveably awesome.
I think that after I get this FAST LSX ECM installed and the new exhaust fabricated, I'm heading over there for a day's worth of tuning.
I would also like to thank the folks at Hardcore Motorsports for giving me some brake fluid to top off my clutch cylinder: After three and a half hours of stop & go cruising, I started developing shin splints, and my clutch piston developed a small leak. Luckily we caught it just as the small master cylinder was nearly empty, so there's no brake bleeding necessary. However, I guess I will have to buy myself a new one and install it this fall!
I hope some of you made it to the cruise: After the afternoon rain storm, the weather was beautiful.
p.s. I'm Pretty sure I saw OKFOZ's yellow Formula head down Woodward last night. Pretty car, it stands out nicely, unlike my 'stealth' paint job!

pontaic is definately the place to be now days... during the week you'll see that on the heart of woodward around 13 mile and the rest. during the cruise though it just doesn't happen as much. the only problem with pontiac is that the loop is so small.
