Roadkill Nights

Fun and excitement with Big Tire and Small Tire street racing, the Grudge Race and more. Can you handle the hi-po action?

Avenue itself, right outside M1 Concourse –made available for this event with the help of the local Pontiac community.

This year sees the introduction of a new take on the Grudge Race. A mentor and protégé will be challenged to build a street-legal drag racer using the Dodge Direct Connection HurriCrate 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine. The mentor should have a history of building racers, while the protégé will be an automotive YouTuber who’s never built a race car. They will then face off against other racers. Last year’s victor was the Hellcat Redeye supercharged Hemi-powered 1955 Plymouth Savoy of HOT ROD Garage’s Alex Taylor.

Dodge usually reveals new special editions and cars at the show, and you’ll be able to stock up on parts for your own projects. You can also indulge in thrill rides on M1 Concourse’s skid pad and track, while the off-road course returns with the 702bhp RAM 1500 TRX trucks.

Roadkill Nights promises all the fun, action and excitement of a true Horsepower Circus, and is simply a must-attend spectacular. You’ve heard of ‘Mopar or no car’? Well how about ‘Roadkill or no thrills’? See you on the strip!

THE NEXT BIG DEVELOPMENT AT M1 Concourse is the new Prefix Performance Center, close to the Woodward Avenue entrance.

Following the groundbreaking of the new facility on November 10, 2022, construction work got underway almost immediately by the contractor, Pontiac-based AUCH Construction. This is the company that was responsible for the acclaimed Event Center at M1 Concourse, which was completed to schedule in September 2021 despite delays caused by the pandemic. Progress on the Performance Center so far has been as planned, working to a target completion date of July 2023.

The Center will provide an invaluable resource for M1 Concourse garage owners, club members and event participants. Pre-track car checks, servicing, suspension alignment, tire fitment and more will be available – exactly what’s needed for vehicles that are used hard on the M1 Performance Track.

But there is much more to it than that, because this isn’t your normal service center;
