Just thought I'd see if any of your detroit folks were heading to the Belle Isle GP this year? I've never been and it corresponds with a meeting I need to be up there for that week. Thought I'd see what the GRM hive thought of the event.

I'd like to since I haven't been able to see it yet. My brother lives there now so I have a convenient place to stay. Hopefully I'll be able to go this time.

If you are staying anywhere in the Renaissance area, be sure to check out the GM building lobby area.

I've been a couple of times. It's pretty good. Sight lines aren't great unless you're in a grandstand seat, the concrete barriers assure you only see the top of the roll bar in most spots. Being in a park it is nice to walk around and see all the stuff on display. A paddock pass makes it much more interesting. If you can get there Friday everything is open and free, or has been in years past.
