I know they started early this AM, but I do not know the route they take, or where they stop.

We are in Dexter. 40 plus cars . Helped to change 1 flat tire on a 08 Jackson. We are driving my 06 model F Ford. So far so good. At 47 miles the route today is 102 miles total.

Re: Anyone posting info for Lansing-Dearborn run?
The endurance run between Lansing and Greenfield Village held during the Old Car Festival. If I remember correctly, all pre-1909 cars are welcome/eligible to participate as well as any 1 or 2 cylinder cars, steam car, electric, motorcycle, cycle car and bicycle, built prior to 1915. I think post-1909 (up to the 1915 cutoff) cars that are 4 cylinders are eligible, if they are rated below 20HP but do not quote me on that one. Grand River used to be one of the best routes, not too sure anymore though (Grand River, the longest river in Michigan that you can actually walk on).
"Remember son, there are two ways to do this: The right way, and your way” Thanks Dad, I love you too.

We made it to Lansing about 5 pm. The model F ran great. I think about 4 cars ended up on the trouble trailer . Good weather. It’s 54 out now, it will be a cool start. Plan on leaving around 7:30. When it’s light enough.
