Default 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.

I was thinking of checking for a room at the Homewood Suites. It sounds like a nice place and it's not far from the P.G.
What do you think?......
Is anyone else planning to participate this year?

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.
