Happy October, everyone! It's that time of year when I'm happy to announce our 10th annual Detroit Auto Show get-together, aka "Winterfest!"
WHEN:
This year's GTG date: Saturday, January 14th, 2017 (first public day of the show). Due to the large number of out-of-towners who frequent this event, the GTG will start on Friday evening and conclude with breakfast at The Bomber on Sunday morning.
http://naias.com/ for more information on the auto show.
Based on positive feedback from last year, we will be returning to JD Racing's all-electric indoor go karting facility in Novi, Michigan.
LODGING:
Once again, we will be staying at the Ypsilanti Marriott. It's a 40 minute drive from the COBO Center, it's a great place to stay, and Ypsi is an awesome town with awesome food (and not far from Ann Arbor).
Hotel pricing is $136.00 per night for concierge level rooms (to avoid the hockey kids). We have rooms available on Friday, January 13th and Saturday, January 14th. If you would like to extend your stay beyond these two dates, let me know via PM.
Hotel booking deadline is December 19th, 2016. After this date, any unsold rooms in our block will be released to general sales. If you're interested in attending this event, please book your room before December 19th.
