Gary, reservations are made for 15 - 17 and parking pass ordered. It was quite an ordeal to get them to extend the group rate for one day for early arrival but they finally agreed. See you guys there.

Thanks for the intro
Plan to join us in the evenings (Fri & Sat) at the Marriott Auburn Hills even if you won't be staying there overnight.
We usually gather there on Friday late afternoon and head out as a group for dinner somewhere local still to be determined and then back to the hotel.
Then after our cruise and day of fun on Saturday we try again to head as a group for dinner and then back to the Marriott for some more time together in the evening out in the lot by our Crossfires

see ya at Woodward
