Thinking of heading to Woodward this August instead of Spring Carlisle this year. I'm sure a few on here have been before?

Any hotel recommendations?
What's the scoop on the day...just walk around? Cruise the strip?

Any info appreciated!

I went in 2013.
Stayed at the Detroit Marriott Troy.

The event is massive, a 25km stretch of Woodward...impossible to see the whole thing on foot. I recommend splitting the day, part on foot and part in the car. You can also see plenty if you find a spot along the curb and watch the cars going by....bring a comfortable fold up chair.
You have to get there early if you want to park on Woodward. Spots fill up fast. The hotel we stayed at had a free shuttle, so we dropped the cars off around 7:30am to get spots, took the shuttle back to the hotel for a little more sleep and breakfast, then took the shuttle back to the event.

It's a great event.....a must for any car guy.
I'd choose a spot mid way up the strip. Stay away from the Pontiac end....

Just my $.02....

Thanks for the info...anyone else?

When we go we usually stay near or around birmingham, then walk the bit of the strip from there. usually its a complete day event so getting into your car and driving a bit further down is fun as well just be prepared to be in traffic for a few hours and if the car doesn't enjoy hot temps on traffic try not to be out too long.

the thrusday and friday evenings are fun as well..... burnouts galore!

Bucket listing this event

Sounds like fun!
