Due to poor weather conditions, we have unfortunately decided to cancel the "Michigan Figure 8 Battle of Champions" originally scheduled for today, October 3rd.

Normally, we would wait until the middle of the afternoon to make a decision, but have instead called it early out of consideration to the many teams who were coming from Indiana and Ohio, as well as other parts of Michigan.

We appreciate everyone who was planning on attending this event. The show won't be rescheduled, however, we are thinking of the possibility of opening the 2010 season with this show. So please keep that one in mind.

Be sure to come on out for Auto City's Annual Fall Swap Meet next Saturday, October 10th, from 8AM to 3PM. Vendors will be setting up at 6:30AM. Admission will be $5. Vendor spaces are $20. See you then.
