Above are the links to Pratt Miller and also for Bakers, but here are a couple of details to make finding them a little easier.
Finding Pratt Miller:
On their website is a map leading from exit #155 off I-96. William K. Smith Dr. is marked only with a street corner sign. There are two landmark buildings to look for on either side of William K. Smith Dr. On the West side (the building you will pass as you come from exit #155 is a large building that is a “Cummins” dealership. On the east side of William K. Smith Dr. is a small building that looks like a small used car lot that just says “Buick”, and they have a HUGE American flag (if you pass this building, you went too far).
Finding Bakers for Dinner:
Bakers is about 2 miles north of exit #155 on the right (east) side of the road. There is a “Dairy Queen” directly a crossed the street. We will be in the restaurant portion of the building…. Just ask for the SSR group. (I am guessing between 5:30 and 6:00pm).
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
If you have any questions (or get lost on the way) call me on my cell:

Pratt & Miller Tour
Great time had by all members who attended tonight.
Thank you Keith (TuffSSR) for putting the ball in motion.
We were notified this morning by Pratt and Miller that we would not be able to tour the design studio. A top secret project had came in over the past few days not allowing us to do so.
Robin at Pratt & Miller had arranged for us to receive a few collector posters and brochure's to compensate for the inconvenience. We also had our pictures taken by the racing corvettes in the main lobby by their photographer and our tour guide Chris. Chris did an outstanding job at answering our members questions.
We learned a great deal about this Michigan based company and the process and man hours that it takes to get one of these racing vehicles from start to finish. I am sure and hoping that many of our members will join in and share this information with you.
The lobby is filled with trophy's......you can't help but to feel like a winner yourself standing in the lobby area. A huge display of racing photo's, racing Vettes and Cadillac's adorn this area......no doubt you feel like your in the winners circle.

We made it home OK, we had some white knickle driving getting back home thou.
Will this snowy weather here in Michigan ever go away this year?

I must say what a wonderful couple you two are and a delight to be around. We are sure hoping to see more of you! So glad you made the dinner last night. I'm thrilled to know you are also close to my home. That makes for three within 15 miles

It was a pleasure to finally meet you and thank you for offering your contacts on future runs. I know we will need them at one time or another
It was a pleasure meeting everyone last night. We both had a great time. Now all we need is for the weather to improve so we can get the out and get some miles on it .
I went to PepBoys this afternoon and purchased the California Duster and squeegee that was talked about last night. While looking around I found some SSR tshirts. I bought each of us a black and a white tshirt. They had several left if anyone is intersted. It was the PepBoys at 18 & VanDyke. If you ever out driving around and get through Macomb Twp stop at that fire station and say hi. The coffee is always on. My office is at the new staion 4 at 25 & Romeo Plank.

Nice to see you are taking advantage of the tips you received last night!
Thanks for the tips on the SSR shirts .....I already have two of them but I'm sure other members may need them.
The Fire Station.....would love to stop by when I'm in the area!
Where were you when I was looking for a fire house for the SSR Ladies Calendar
