Is this Friday and Saturday, or Saturday only? I'm signed up for memorial park, but could possibly come by Friday.

We won't be set up on Friday, only on Saturday.

Some possibly bad news has come down the chain -- due to the bad weather we received on Monday night, the main (largest) park which the Camaro Corral planned to use is currently a lake. It's unlikely that the one park will be usable on Saturday for the Dream Cruise - the grass will be too wet and Pleasant Ridge will not let us park in the park if they're concerned about us damaging the lawn. What this means is that tentatively we have parking for only 50-75 Camaros while having 140 names on the list. We're working with the City of Pleasant Ridge to try and see if we can use parks north of the ones we used at BBOMG last year. Unfortunately we just can't compensate for the poor weather we had on Monday night and the further monsoon on Tuesday.

That said - I do have a list with 150 spaces. I cannot guarantee that there will be 150 spaces available on Saturday. At this point it's going to be "First come, first serve if you're on the list." I won't give the spots away to just anyone - you must be on the reservation list to get in. But once the spots are full, I'm unfortunately going to have to turn people away. I mentioned the possibility of changing venues, but I think right now we're going to try to stick with Pleasant Ridge.

So here's the deal: If you get on the reservation list and show up to the Corral, I will still give you your swag you were supposed to receive. When it gets to the point that I have to turn people away, I'm personally and unofficially (IE: not Chevrolet) recommending folks go to the Kingswood Plaza lot on the northeast side of Square Lake Rd and Woodward Ave where the Staples store is located. Like Pleasant Ridge, it's outside of the "core" area of the cruise but you get a lot of traffic going by. Kingswood Plaza is also a big parking lot and it's first come first serve as well, but since people will be getting to the Corral early I'm assuming we'll be full by 9am and can direct people north to Kingswood.

Unfortunately that's the best I can do at this point. :(

If we're on the list but are not able to park with the group can we still get our swag when we show up?

That sucks, but understandable. Especially considering that area on 696 was hit the hardest

meissen · 08-15-2014, 08:25 AM

Thankfully the warm and sunny weather has been helping - it looks like we may have an additional 30-40 spots thanks to some of the park drying out. We're going to have close to 100 spots, but we're still short by about 40. My contact with the city who will be helping with parking tomorrow ensures that he'll do whatever he can to make sure everyone gets a spot somewhere, so we might be OK on Saturday after all. If your name is on the list, please at least try to stop by sometime in the morning and see if we have space.

Weather is looking good I am going to stop in for a bit, be good to see over 100 Camaros in one spot, just down from mustang alley too.
