This weekend is the first for 2019 - M1 Concourse Cars & Coffee in Pontiac at Woodward and South Blvd. Sponsored by LaFontaine this year [[Car & Driver last year). Runs from 8:30am to 11am. A good opportunity to see many types of cars and walk the track [[so there's exercise too).

Last year there were at least 200 cars lining the track and infield [[probably more). There were also a couple of food trucks and of course coffee and donuts. Avon Donuts is also across Woodward from the track.
