I was contacted by the Back To The Bricks auto show

We are looking for MV's for the show. This is a few day event
Back to the bricks is a very large show with 1000's of cars trucks, few MV's. This year there is a push for more MV's

This is like Woodward dream cruise without the congestion
flint is well planned out. the cruse is 12 miles of cars !



The Rolling Cruise is from 5-10 pm Wednesday 8/18 & Thursday 8/19. Our premier Host Site is at the N/W corner of Hemphill and Saginaw (at the old Fisher Body building & lot). If we just have 2 or 3 vehicles I can park them wherever it works best. If we wind up with more than that I’ll have to arrange special parking in the main lot that still keeps them visible from Saginaw St.




We have the Hemphill Rd lot all afternoon and evening to set up on Wed & Thurs but the cruise officially starts at 5:00pm each night.
If Saturday doesn’t conflict with you other show and your group can attend, I’ll have to see what we can arrange downtown. I’ll need to know how many vehicles are committed to attend and any special requirements from weight etc. so I can arrange space. The Saturday times go from 8am-8pm. By the way, we may have a fly over downtown on Saturday morning by the Air Force with some F- 16s.

please dont wait I really need to have a idea on who can show uo.
there are no fees

How did this event go? I read about it in the paper, but it didn't mention any military vehicles? Digitaldust, was it just you?

I'm still waiting on my EUC!!! 52 business days on my trailers, and over 20 on the truck.

Well, I have my truck now! So I would really like to make it to this show. Just working on getting a title and plates...found insurance, but at $60 per month it is a little bit more than I wanted to pay.

Does anyone have the inside track on titling the truck in MI? Do I have to get the SF97 form from GL? Or is there another easier, faster way?

I have some vacation days to burn and I would be up for bringing the humvee down on Saturday. I just need to clear it with work.
Is this like the woodward cruise where we get to drive up and down the road or is it a park em and ppl walk around?
