I have to be honest with you guys. You can ask Tenney and Keith how I was very reluctant to get involved. But they asked and I agreed. It has been enjoyable.
I have been trying to get some of the guys who worked at Royal to pipe up. A few are not interested. One or two said they'd look in. I don't know if they actually did. One of them said they gave up trying to sign up for the PY forum. They just couldn't get in.
Now as for DREAM CRUISE. If you really want to participate with your car and get a REAL taste of Woodward. It is not the day of the Cruise. That Saturday you get an early cruise then park your self and watch it go by. Don't forget to bring a camera.
It is the few weeks leading up to the event that is the most fun.
The week leading up to Saturday there are many events every day and night. People actually take the week off from work and line Woodward and go to different party's on Woodward. GM had several events at the Radison Kingsley Inn on Woodward in Bloomfiled Hills.
Jack Doc Watson has a party in Grand Blanc, more to kick off the lesser known event in Flint. "Back to the Bricks". Back to the Bricks is a very large show too. Its jsut over shadowed by the much larger Dream Cruise.
The Royal Pontiac Club is waiting to hear from Fresard Buick GMC about parking there for the 2012 Dream Cruise. They hosted the Royal Pontiac Club and served lunch and gave us approximately a $30.00 goodie bag. These are the people who bought Ace Wilson's in the 70's. The New GM had them move the dealership from 400 North Main in Royal Oak to their current location on Woodward Ave in Ferndale. The move and the loss of Pontiac has hurt them financially. A larger automotive group is buying them out. We need to wait and see if we are parking there. Anyone of you guys would be welcome to join us.
You will meet many of these Royal and PMD guys you've read about. Go to
www.royalpontiac.org. on the left side menu click EVENTS. Once in the EVENTS section look for the 2011 Dream Cruise. Many pictures and two video's of a little racing in front of Fresard on Woodward. We had great fun.
