I would live to do power tour with one of the cars. Too bad they don't have nothing like that on west coast.

I went last year to the event kickoff in Arlington, TX, and had to park out side, the long haul guys were given the good parking..but I didn't pay to get in. Check on the Hot Rod site..

Id love to go.But my son the Heir to the throne told me to keep the mileage at a minimum.Ronny is 28 and I told him 'Ronny when I am gone I want him to drive the Old Lady behind the Cadillac Station Wagon..He comes back with..." So now your buying a Cadillac Station Wagon?"..Then he got it..And he smiled..

Don't take this the wrong way, but I just got out of the hospital from a bad section of intestine that had to be removed. In recuperation now. I just beat death, for now. It was close. I don't plan on letting my cars sit idle. This one was a game changer. I'm going on Power Tour. Hope to see you there. I'm doing a lot of things in the future, hope to see you there too.

I booked my hotels a while ago but didn't register at the time. I registered as a long hauler on Tuesday for the $80 + the $3 service fee. The long haul registration includes parking preference every night, covers you and one passenger, it also includes a chance to go on a private tour of the original Petty garage and a meet and greet breakfast with the King himself. Pretty cool! 20 luckies + 1 guest each will get the adventure Saturday (kick-off day).

Z11375SS,
Glad to hear you are recovering. I fully support your enthusiasm to make the most out of life. More of us should try to do better at that. I'll be making it a point to meet all the CO people on the tour.

z11375ss glad to hear you are in good spirits. Hope you have a speedy recovery . Im also trying to plan a trip atleast to the dells to check it out and meet up with members. Hopefully I can make something happen.

The original few years it was a West coast to East drive.

Hey we are going to hookup with Robz at Dubuque probley run 61 down from there. The more the merrier not sure what day yet let us know

archeryshooter

It would be nice to know the route I run E-85 there are stations that carry it but would be nice to know where I need to be looking.

z11375ss

We need to soap write a big CO on the back window of our cars so they are easy to find. Or something along those lines.

archeryshooter

Good idea! Im in. Maybe our form names as well

Keegan

I should see you guys at the June 19th stop at Norwalk! Not too far from me. It's not like you'll be able to miss the Great Pumpkin, haha. Might try to drag my dad along too.
Can't wait!

z11375ss

That's a great idea.

I'm planning on doing the Norwalk leg.

Are any of you artistic and/or connected in the printing industry?
I think a modest CO window sticker would be really cool.
Perhaps a sticker with some extra room to write in your username.
Any thoughts? It would be cool to have on or off the tour.

dc2x4drvr

I'm on it, thinking of using the CO site logo in a banner style, that would look good along the bottom of the rear window.
More to follow

Keegan

I would totally buy this. It'd be a neat way to connect.

After getting a few inches of snow today I'm really looking forward to summer so I thought I'd resurrect this thread. Because of the salt on the road, I've only had the old cars out twice since Thanksgiving. I've officially got withdrawl.

The Power tour is only 67 days away! (till the kick-off BBQ on Friday) Get ready to hit the road and make sure your heater works just-n-case it is still cold when we get to Wisconsin.

I've been looking at routes between Dallas and Concord today. Apparently the day prior to kickoff a group is going to cruise to the VA facility, might have to depart a day early

z11375ss

I was looking at routes in Ill Noise too. I hope they do Rt 6 and not I-80. Borinnnng.

Mr Nick

I plan on catching the tour as they leave Crown Point headed to Bettendorf, and spending the night there. May continue to WI Dells as well, that's to be determined.

z11375ss

I would help with the cost of the stickers/vinyl whatever.

Alex72cutty

Was thinking about joining but I'm not sure my car will be ready. I went to the kickoff in Arlington,Tx last year as well and it was a blast... Maybe I can attend the tour in 2015

archeryshooter

Let me know if you need them printed we have a guy that does our stuff for our biz. Im guessing they would be no more than $5 ea but dont hold me to it could be less, also quantity matters and we need the ok from CO to use their logo

z11375ss

We don't need no stinking permission. Make your own logo.

I just got word my car is finally ready to go. After spending the entire winter getting the motor rebuilt. I hope I can get enough miles on it, to be ready for the power tour. I signed up and made all my reservations a long time ago.

z11375ss

You're where i was last year. My car ended up not having enough miles on it for me to be comfortable driving it down to Chattanooga. Didn't go. This year they are driving through my back yard. I have to go. Already have 4 buds going too. I don't think they've made their reservations at Bettendorf though. They're not sleeping with me. I will Houdini if that's what it takes. I've already reminded them once about the reservation thing. They're big boys, so that's all I'll say about that to them.

I haven't had time to get a quote on a CO sticker, if you work with an outfit that cuts vinyl lets and can supply them on a backing for the rear window go for it, I was going to use the co.com logo at the top of the site.
Let me know if I can help..

Just got word my engine should be ready soon. As long as I have time to put a few miles on it before hand I'm headed from Crown Point to the Dells.

z11375ss

You going to change your gear?

ROBZ442

It's not looking good. I haven't found an affordable option. If one pops up I would love to swap it out before I go.

archeryshooter

I seen on site reg thats what Im doing iowa and dells

rroth01

Id Love to go but I am running out of Gas..

archeryshooter

Thats not what the dog says hey put my new tranny in and now my speedo works

ROBZ442

I would like to join the tour in Crown Point from Rockford, IL. Is there a decent way to get there without running the interstate through Chicago? I was thinking of dropping down through Joliet but I keep hearing horror stories about Chicago Heights. Any suggestions?

ROBZ442

Pulled this from the Hot Rod Power Tour section.
