2011 Must Attend Events - the shows YOU will attend

I know that some people are waiting to hear what the final word is from the Good Guys (changing some dates around in 2011)

Jalopy Showdown is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the third Saturday of May which is May 21st for 2011. Billetproof Detroit is problay the same date but has not been announced yet.

Also, its's the Detroit Autorama, not a World of Wheels show.
