Hot Rod Power Tour 2012
I'm planning to spend the night in Detroit for the beginning of the PT.
It starts at the GM proving grounds in Warren, MI. It looks like Brighton is pretty close. Here are some places for lodging: Hide map Map data ©2012 Google, Sanborn - Terms of Use Map Satellite Hybrid 5 mi10 km 1Residence Inn Detroit Novi 27477 Cabaret Drive Novi, MI, 48377 Property Details or Properties Nearby 10.74 miles from GM Proving Grounds 3 StarsHotel$99.95VIEW RATES 2BEST WESTERN of Hartland 10087 M-59 Hartland, MI, 48353 Property Details or Properties Nearby 5.93 miles from GM Proving Grounds 3 StarsHotel$99.00VIEW RATES 3Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites BRIGHTON 8285 MOVIE DRIVE BRIGHTON, MI, 48116 Property Details or Properties Nearby 6.64 miles from GM Proving Grounds 3 StarsHotel$90.99VIEW RATES 4Courtyard Detroit Brighton 7799 Conference Center Dr. Brighton, MI, 48114 Property Details or Properties Nearby 6.73 miles from GM Proving Grounds 3 StarsHotel$120.00VIEW RATES 5Homewood Suites by Hilton® Brighton 8060 Challis Brighton, MI, 48116 Property Details or Properties Nearby 6.73 miles from GM Proving Grounds 3 StarsHotel$99.00VIEW RATES Try properties nearby instead. 6Baymont Inn and Suites Detroit/Novi-Wixom 48953 Alpha Tech Drive Wixom, MI, 48393 Property Details or Properties Nearby 8.49 miles from GM Proving Grounds 3 StarsHotelNo Vacancy Try properties nearby instead. 7Comfort Suites Wixom 28049 Wixom Rd.

Brian I don't live too far from the GM in Warren. And Brighton is still quite a drive from there, maybe 40+ minutes, and that is all expressway.
There are a lot of hotels right on Van Dyke, which is the road that GM is on, but I would have to look up the names, but I am pretty sure there is a Holiday Inn right there. I would love to do the power tour this year, especially since it is starting in my back yard. But I still have a few bugs to work out before I could make that commitment. I will check into the hotels closer to GM if you would like me to. Or just look up the hotels on Van Dyke in Warren.

The GM proving grounds is in Milford which is right next Brighton. Hank lives so close he can smell the rubber in the air. Warren is the engineering center.

Brian,
I just checked and they are starting in Milford at the proving grounds which is right next to Brighton, I'm thinking of doing a part of it as well, maybe three stops. I'd take the Camaro. I just have to find out when my daughters graduation is. For everyone else here is the link to the powertour. http://www.mytrain.com/hrpt2012.html
