Car and Driver magazine sponsors "Cars and Coffee" one Saturday each month during the summer at the new M1 Concourse racetrack in downtown Pontiac, Michigan. I am gathering a list for inclusion in this event on Saturday, June 10th from 8am to 11am (we will need to meet there at 7:00am in order to be showcased on the "skid pad"). The number of coaches that can participate is limited to 25.

As far as a schedule for the day's events...there isn't one. People just show up with their exotic, muscle, rice cookers, beaters... and oogle at others and their own cars! There are some YouTube videos that people have made of last year's C+C events. The M1 track has only been open officially since August.

JUST ADDED:As a participant, you will also be invited to a private tour of the M1 Concourse facility, which includes a 1.5 race course, 2.5 acre skid-pad, car condos, and more.

Here are a couple of informational videos:

I will confirm your spot via return email. I will also be doing press releases to the local media. Email kbreenbo AT comcast (dot) net and include:

Attendees' names
Full address
Phone(s)
GMC year and model

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Karen,
I would love to be there since I live less than 5 miles from the new "M1 Concourse racetrack". However, my son is getting married that day in Austin, Texas. We are keeping that day partly GMC, since we will be driving our coach there for the wedding.

Thanks for trying to get our motorhomes included in that day's activities.
