We need plenty of pix of your tour, along with the obligatory photo of you and your engine builder! Hope that the rain is cleared out by the time you are on this side of the state.By the way, at 13mile and Woodward, starting Friday at noon, the PBC engine builders will be assembling and disassembling a LS9 at the Chevy Performance Park, (all day Saturday to).
Cheers,
Kevin
I call this photo "ZR1 Owner Meets Engine Builder"

OK I will Bite, by the way I hope that I did not embarrass “this ZR1 Owner” too much, and apologize to our tour group for my “off the cuff questions”. The engine builders that supported our tour group “went way above and beyond to accommodate us” and for that I’m very thankful!

Great Pics Deb and nice to finally meet you... So wish that I could have spent more time with everyone but I was kinda being hustled around all over the place. Hope everyone had a great time and I know we had fun showing off the place to everyone!

Very cool Deb!! I had a personal tour 6 months ago from pilot03ebz06 and was much better than this time. I didn't feel that our guide made enough of an effort to get us in front of a builder. Most in our group complained. I felt bad for my Dad who really wanted to see that.
Ohbwell can can you do?

Next yearDon H (Eaglei) did our tour and because we "tied him up" so much Rob (Pilot) had to finish up! Both did a great job and Don really got us up close and personal with the Builders as you can see from the pics!
Some more pics from Sonic Don:
