It’s a nice place. It’s great that someone saved the grounds and buildings. The track is gone. Now new homes. But the watch tower and the big concrete pad is still there. They put the theme vehicles there. The stock hot rods were there a few years ago. R-12, T3 guy is always there.
The big boat is in the one building now, and a lot of Packards are stored there. Make sure you go in all the buildings. More of them is open at the June swap.
Check out the link below.

I went yesterday. Found some F body stuff. It was the best one at the Novi location yet. Didn’t bump into and YenkoHeads at the show. Almost bought a 70 functional shaker, had a pc on the edge missing, all the functional stuff was there it looked like. Seemed like a ton of Ford stuff. Well, next swap in April in Monroe.

Aw, hell! I was there with dad! Was looking for M/T valve covers and Thrush mufflers (Hence my other thread). Left empty handed. Almost bought a Hurst Dual Gate but it was missing the bracket and cable, and I don't know how hard it is to come by that stuff so I didn't risk it. Can you tell me more about Monroe? I've been meaning to start hitting swap meets for a while now.

Burd - will you see if I'm in that Firebird yearbook?

I ran the Super Chevy event (PRO Class) out there and I think it was 1990.
