Yes Bill they did major renovation there. The track is actually flipped around. You race going the opposite direction you used to. I drag raced there back in the late 1980s. It is very nice there now..

Been to a lot of drag strips in my years and I must say that was one of the nicest ones for spectating and pits I have ever been to.

Digital License Plates Coming to Michigan in 2021 after Debut in California

Today, only two states allow digital license plates: California and Arizona. That's slow progress for Reviver, which formed in 2009 to change how the old, metal-based automotive technology works. But things are about to change, and 2021 is when the company will finally step down hard on the "go ahead, try it out" accelerator.

Digital plates are more expensive than metal ones, sure, but they can do more, too, like display Amber Alerts or an "I'm Stolen" message.

By 1927, during the last years of the production of the Model T, the factory could produce a completely assembled car in 24 seconds. The Model T cost around $850 in 1908, but because of production efficiencies, the price was lowered to $260 in 1925.

By the way - all but 3000 of the 15 million Model Ts were built at Ford's Highland Park plant, the ruins of which are still standing on Woodward Avenue in Detroit. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/...ark-ford-plant



The Model T was conceived at the first 3000 were stall built at the Piquette Avenue plant. The Piquette plant is also still standing and functions as a meeting venue and hosts a Ford historical society. https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/f...s-an-antidote/
