2014 Hot Rod Power Tour
I did a search and didn't come up with a thread for this yet.
I signed up for the Norwalk,OH to Crownpoint, IN Leg. I will be Leaving Flint, MI on Tuesday June 10th early am for Norwalk OH. Get my credentials. Then do the tour to Crownpoint the next day.
Anyone from Michigan going? Anyone from this forum going? This will be my first one. To say I'm a little excited is an understatement. Hopefully we can get a good representation of Oldsmobiles there..

I live 15 minutes from the crown point square court house.. Where Dillinger escaped from..where are you guys supposed to stop at in crown... There is a car cruise 10 minutes from downtown crown point at Whites Pit Stop on Wednesdays also you can purchase high performance goodies. And the next day Thursday, you may miss this one there is a big car cruise at the crown point square itself.. If its a sunny day it can bring 300 cars or better, they start lining up at 2:30pm..

White's Pit Stop and US 30. My old stomping grounds. I am in New Lenox Ill now. Hope to catch you at the fairgrounds. The Power Tour came through one time and was at the Tweeter Center off of I 80. Great show. I installed a TKO just so I could run on the highway on a leg or two of the tour. Come on summer!

The TKO is a Tremec 5 speed transmission:

FWIW, I was hoping to do one leg of Power Tour this year. I've never been before and I definitely need to drive my Olds this summer.

I'll be there as a long-hauler. I've already plunked down the non-refundable long-hauler gold package fee. It will be a lot of driving. I'll be heading from CT to the start, then driving home from Dells after. I planned to go last year but things got in the way. I've got things lined up well for this year and don't anticipate any scheduling fails.
I'll either be driving my 68 cutlass convertible with 455, 2004R, and 3.55 gears, or my 78 Anniversary Corvette with 350, 4 speed, and 3.3 gears. It all depends on which one seems the most dependable when it gets time.
Let's hope for good weather. Hope to meet you there.
p.s. The TKO is a heavy duty manual transmission with a modern overdrive gear.

I don't think a route map get posted until all the sponsors have gotten on board. In the sponsoring info, Hot Rod appears willing to tweek the drive route slightly for lunch stops etc. from sponsoring establishments.

Once again routes haven't been set yet. From the videos I have seen,from past events. It appears they do mostly secondary roads.

I'm pretty sure they will be taking Rt 30. To take I-80 would be a big waste of a good drive. It hooks up with old Rt 66 somewhere west of their start point. I imagine that will be a good enough reason. I sure hope they do Rt 30, 80 would be BORING!!!!

Got a taste of spring here in CT where the temp got up to 50 today. Not enough to melt all the snow and ice but warm enough to bring the old cars out for some fresh gas and to charge the batteries. Also got the chance to think about what still needs to be done be done for power tour. Can't wait.

Not to sound like an idiot although I shoud know this since I have been a subscriber to hit rod for the past 10 years but what are the stops south to north or north to south. I might plan this with my dad to take his car out with my brother tagging along. Might make the the drive towards the dells but will need to plan a good place to meet up with other co members somewhere.
