Saline is about 10 miles South of Ann Arbor. They are having their second "Sports Cars to Saline" car show Sunday June 24th from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I didn't have my Viper yet last year but went to the show. There was a very impressive turn out last year but there wasn't a single Viper there :(. This year there will be at least one.

Here is a Saline Reporter writeup about last year's show.

The Howell Balloonfest is the same weekend as the Saline car show was last year. I know a group of Vipers went to Howell last year on Sunday. Howell appears to have their car show both Saturday & Sunday.

Is the Saline show parking on pavement, grass, or ?

The Howell Balloonfest public parking on the rolling grass seemed hazardous to spoilers etc, 3 yrs ago. Is the car show parking any better at HOWell?

The Saline show is on the city streets and a parking lot right in the center of town. There was plenty of room around each vehicle also. They grouped the different brands/models as much as possible on the street. The parking lot contained a potpourri of cars.

I wasn't there for Howell last year but there were about a dozen Vipers there if I recall correctly. I think Howell is more of a parade than a car show. Perhaps someone that was there can provide details/impressions.

Last year's Howell Baloon Fest included both a car show and a car parade on the track.

We parked on grass, but I didn't see anyone have any problems with their spoilers or anything.

It was a great event. The drive over there :drive: was fun and the baloons were a hoot to see.

What are the details of the Saline show -- are there entry forms, what's the fee, do we have to sign up early or as we arrive, etc.?

The details I have posted at the beginning of this thread is all I have found out so far. They had about 50% pre-register last year but I think we would want to at least let them know how many Vipers to expect if we want to be grouped together. I've sent an e-mail to a member of the Saline Street Machines that is a fellow Viper owner requesting more info.

[FONT=&quot]I was correct on the date but the time was wrong. The correct info is:
Sunday, June 24, 2007 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

I have a registration form that was e-mailed to me. Anyone can P.M. me with their e-mail address if you would like me to forward it to you.
