Well, I talked with the main guy out there about the show last night and it's now official. Billetproof Detroit is a go! It's not exactly in Detroit but we didn't want anyone to die. So it's going to be in Davisburg at the Springfield Oaks 4H Fairgrounds on June 6th. I'll be working on the flyer this week. So if you want to be on the mailing list be sure you send me your info. So far we have: -Pre '65 Billetproof cars, trucks and motorcycles (details on the website) -Swapmeet -Vendors -Burnout Contest -Model Contest -Panel Jam (hosted by HAMBers) -Raffle -Custom Made trophies -$5 walk in -$20 pre-register ($25 after May 31st) All the details will be on the flyer. I'll update you guys when more info comes along.
No, what I need is a fucking psychiatrist. I'm not doing too much of the work out there. A guy named Boomer and the Detroit Poor Boys are doing most of the work. It's pretty much their gig.
If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask. If you can get me flyers, or at least all the perticulars by Wed Feb 26th, I'll get all the info to the powers that be at the Detroit Autorama. All the heads of all the cars clubs in Michigan get together in a meeting room at Cobo Hall on that Sat of the Autorama and go thru all the "local" shows and make a huge list that is printed by I believe by the Bearing Burners, members of the Michigan Hot Rod Assoc, and is distributed throughout the state. Also, I'm willing to pass out flyers to folks at all the local cruz nites on the westside of town here. I believe most of the Poor Boys are on the east and north sides of town. I can also get flyers to the Flint, Midland, Charlotte and Grand Rapids areas via the Gay Michigan Bitches. You need to plan on this being a huge show even though it will be the first annual for Michigan. The state is ready for a strickly traditional hot rod and custom show. Is the date still Sunday, June 6th?
[ QUOTE ] Is Kirk going to be there for his initiation into The Michigam Gay Bitches ? [/ QUOTE ] I'd be proud to. Everyone I know out there is super cool.

Oh great. Somewhere else I'll have to help Greg push his car too... like the beach boys said "can't wait til June!" Jay
Great to hear that Billetproof North is all systems GO!!... throw in our own little Panel Jam and this show will be smokin!!!! As echoed by others already, if there is anything I can do to help the process let me know, be glad to add a helping hand.....Oh by the way do we have any Poor Boy members on HAMB? Or how do we/them contact each other to offer support?.....just thinking out loud....
Alllllrrrright! Hey, If ya got flyers to pass out, I''ll be happy to spread da word over here in Chicagoland. " Billetproof Detroit...The 1shot Heard Around the World! " Joel
Can I get a trophy????...huh???...can I???...welllll..CAN I????????(please???)...I promise to get a flathead or hemi put in my car...will THAT get me a trophy????puhleeeeze??
doesn't tweed interior + leisure suit = velcro? seriously, i 2nd the motion for an east coast billet-proof. will firearms be provided at the door if we don't have our own in detroit?
[ QUOTE ] Ok Kirk, ya got the midwest taken care of. Time to start working on an east coast Billetproof! [/ QUOTE ] It all depends on how this experiment goes. I am relying a ton on these guys to pull it off. I'm used to knowing every detail. If this works out then I'll be able to determine if other locations are going to happen. It would be killer to pull off more.
Ok guys... what are the rules for this show? it's been brought to my atention that these guys can be a little Anal (Maybe the Gay MI bitches will like the anal... ) about what gets in and what doesn't. Can we get some specifics? Thanks...
Excellent! Thanks for coming to Detroit. Looks like I won't have to move to California after all. Seriously keep us posted if there is anything you need.
