Above is a picture I took from the Roadkill Nights presented by Dodge on August 12th at the Pontiac Silverdome (previous venue for the Detroit Lions) in probably the most ‘Murica burnout I have ever seen. This event marked the first of many from FCA leading up to the Woodward Dream Cruise.
This wasn’t the first adrenaline fueled event to take place at the facility in recent times. Red Bull filmed a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! going though the ruins of the massive facility in a very creative fashion.
This was a 3-way tug of war with a Viper, Challenger Hellcat and Charger Hellcat. The Hellcats drowned the Viper with their colored smoke. It was a great event that featured Hellcat and Viper thrill rides, 1/8th mile drag races, car show, food trucks, people watching and a fun overall enthusiast atmosphere. And did I mention it was a free event? The Roadkill crew was there filming as well as the guys from Fast ‘N Loud.
This was a great event that is confirmed to return next year.

The Silverdome is still standing? Guess Pontiac can’t afford to demolish it. Lot of memories from that place. Watching Lions games and the best was seeing the Rolling Stones with a relatively new band as back-up called Santana.

Bring more stands and seats next year! This was a major cluster f%;& to get in and out of.

Was a great time. I met the Roadkill guys at Woodward Friday and they said they would like to not have it at the Silver Dome next year, so we will see where it ends up. It was nice and convenient location, I didn’t mind it.

It’s great to hear that they’re doing it again next year, where did you read that?

I agree. The location was convenient and close to HQ but the pavement was in horrible condition and looked dangerous to drive on. The Palace could be an option but I would be shocked if that happened.
