Default M1 Concourse Cars And Coffee Open House

I went to the BIG event last Saturday.
Tons of cars showed up.
This place is going to be AWESOME!
I walked the road course....Amazing circuit.
Looking forward to going to cruise nights there.
They are planning to have a restaurant on site as well.
Here are some images that I captured.
Enjoy.

Also attended this event and found that it was very well planned. The "overflow" of cars was directed to park on sections of the track while still allowing traffic to proceed in both directions. Only stayed for about an hour and when leaving, the line to get in was still backed up onto Woodward.

Lots of very cool (and some very expensive) vehicles on site. Quite a few Corvettes with all generations represented.

Looking forward to the "flag" lineup right before the Woodward Cruise in August.

Cheers,
HH

I was there for about 2 hours or so. The line to get in was unreal. I've never seen so many cars in line to get into a show. I think they underestimated the amount of cars that would show up to the event.

I ended up going through some side streets to get in. Overall was a great time and it was nice to see the M1 Concourse concept become a reality. Should be a really cool place once its completed.

You're welcome Deb.
Yes...A ton of cars and a ton of traffic.
When I left around 11:30, the police were directing incoming traffic.
Supposedly 2,000-2,500 cars attended.

Here is a drone view of the show.

Here is a video of the circuit from a Katech C7 Z06.
