Dream Cruise officially canceled?

Yea it is cancelled, but honestly, the concept of canceling Dream Cruise it is near comical. What exactly is going to be cancelled? Corporate hospitality tents? Big fucking deal. They aren't going to stop people from driving down Woodward, and I think they will be hard-pressed to stop people from camping out on the side of the road. The only thing in limbo might be lot rentals. You might even still be able to get away with small ones too. And what about the cops? Since you are cancelling, the local PD is going to handle 100k people plus cars on Woodward? Not a chance.

It is a monumental clusterfuck is all I am saying. Because the cruisers WILL be there. The cities are screwing themselves because now it is going to fall on Birmingham and Royal Oak to handle it themselves.

a couple weeks ago I went on a rally/ reliability run ...

and I would rather do that again compare to sitting in traffic ...


fort street cruise was this past weekend ... typical tons of IDIOTS standing on the curb yelling (do a burn out )

Good question. I think I would say that the final story is still developing. I can tell you for sure that with the committee or whoever that "Runs" the event, nobody is going to be paying for extra cops. Going to suck for Birmingham and Royal oak. I imagine they will be clearing parking lots just like any normal weekend.

We'll have to see where the COVID situation stands come August, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if RO/Birmingham just close down & barricade WW on that Saturday. As you said, there is no private funding to help offset the event cost (police, EMS, etc.)... can't believe the main cities would just play dumb and let things play out and run their normal course. The only real reason not to shutdown WW that day would be due to the I-75 reconstruction and WW being an alternate, but no one is going anywhere on WW if all of the cruisers show up anyway.
 
I think if they blocked WW people would just cruise the detour routes. It can't flow any slower than WW on a normal year. Anything they try to do to prevent it will only draw more people lol
