Frosty Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The 24th annual Woodward Dream Cruise on Saturday, August 17th. The annual Back to the Bricks week starts Monday, August 12, 2019 and ends on Saturday, August 17, 2019. These two events account for over 80,000 cars and over three million spectators between Flint (Back to the Bricks) and the cities along the 16 miles of Woodward Avenue on a single day!!! http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com https://backtothebricks.org This year's Back to the Brick's formal events begin with free admission to nearby Lapeer Dragway for bracket racing on Monday night. Tuesday night is drive-in night at the US-23 Drive-In theater. This year they will be showing "American Graffitti". Wednesday and Thursday is rolling cruise nights between Grand Blanc and downtown Flint on S. Saginaw Street. Formal Woodward events begin on Friday evening but informal cruising begins a week before. The Michigan Widetrackers (were JUSTA6, JUSTAG6, notallthere [and the missus], Frosty, and perhaps Indyman Joe will be hanging out with) will be parked on the south bound Woodward Loop (a.k.a WIdetrack Boulevard) in Pontiac, across from the train station, south of the Phoenix Center on Friday and Saturday. BTW - Frosty has promised something special for this year's group photo. The package from Amazon has already arrived !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you guys have great weather and a even better time. I thought I might make it up there to see you all this year, but that just doesn’t look like it’s in the cards, sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Sorry to hear that Last indian, you know we'd love to have you come up - any time ! The weather forecast is excellent at the moment! Heck, one of my buddies from West Virginia is up with his '53 Corvette (#153 of the original Flint-built 300) for the Solid Axle Corvette Club's national convention here in Detroit this week.He will be parking with the NCRS folks down around 15 Mile (a.k.a. Maple Rd) in Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTA6 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Heading down now to play for the day as they are calling for storms/T storms anytime 5pm and beyond. So far claiming Saturday will hold off the rain until at least 6pm. I can't believe it. The county is dumping cloride (helps keep dust down on our dirt roads) But it is 5 times more corrosive then road salt. They dump it so heavy it turns the road to slop. Now I have to drive over a mile to pavement multiple times in the next 2 days. Freakin wonderful..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t they use road oil? Not that that makes any less of a mess, but at least it’s not corrosive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Probably because its cheaper for the county road commission to get their hands on the chloride than the road oil. That's my guess anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 I forgot to post pictures of the rolling cruise I did during Back to the Bricks. It was the Thursday night rolling cruise. The weather was crappy, cloudy, and sprinkles of rain here and there. It kept the number of cars and spectators down. This is why it's called Back to the Bricks - Saginaw St in downtown Flint Michigan is a mile long of its original paver bricks from the early 1900s. The fully restore "Vehicle City" arches is a nice touch too. Somebody is having a kegger! Beautiful Rallye 350 Olds! An old gasser! This photo I am particularly proud of. Its an old Ford pulling out of the old GM Administration building at 4300 S. Saginaw St. This building and the buildings behind it were the site of the famous/infamous "Flint sitdown strike of 1938-1939" that lead to formation of the UAW. While the complex is no longer owned by GM, the historical marker for the strike is just to the left, out of the picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
