anyone interested in HOT ROD Power Tour?

[jturkey69]

well i have been waiting for 5 years for HOT ROD Poer tour to come into Wi and it is finally here for its first time since it began ten years ago.

imagine meeting up in Texas with about 2000 other cars and hot rodders and everything else , and convoying thru 7 states for almost 7 days with all these cars, and getting the red carpet treatment at each stop for thenight, bands, beer, prizes and meeting new peeps.

the dates are as follows
Kickoff is Sat jun 5th in Ft. Worth Texas
next stop is jun 6th at Tulsa OK
then june 7th at Ozarks MO
then jun 8th at St. Louis MO
then jun 9th at Davenport IA
then jun 10th at Chicago IL
finally jun 11th at Green bay WI

www.HOTROD.com is where you can find more info, routes will soon be posted at their website, bands, and other things...you dont have to join for the whole trip, but there are oppertunities to show there is more to it then just rear drive or imports.

this was just announced, so at the very least i will join in davenport, but i am hoping to have enuff cash for the long haul

just thought id share some of this in case some havent ever heard of this :thumbsup:

wanna pay for my gas, and expenses, then i'll go.

i wish i could go but will not be able to.

might go to davenport though, that is across the river from my parents. so i can check the cars out.

ya i can do it
my boss does it every yr so if i go with him then i am in
:thumbsup:

That's Lake of the Ozarks, MO, which is about 2hrs north of Ozark, MO. Make sure you read your map right; if you get lost between those two it would suck trying to get back on track. You'll be following some small winding highways through there to St. Louis.

chris...your boss does this every year??!!...dam dude...ive been wanting to go since it began, i have seen it in minn. a few years ago, but i wanna do the long haul this time, and to think its going into wisconsin thru chi town...woohoo thatd be sweet if you could go...

if anyone could at least go to parts of it around your state, i garuntee you will never se anything like this.

dueser...i will make sure i pay attention...but hopefully being in a caravan of about at least 1800 cars...im sure i wont get lost..lol

duser is right, those roads down in the lake of the ozarks, can be confusing. I know cuz I have family down there.

dueser...just ty to look past my blond hair for a min ok..lmao

scott...nope..no stipulations at all...in fact there will be so many old school muscle cars, and trucks, and alot of f bodys too...and fox bodied cars, that im sure fwd will be outnumbered, but in years past there have been lots of cavaliers and sunfires i have seen pics of in the magazine

but i do know that there will be some big names on this trip as always...vic edelbrock, mothers car polish always has a car...troy trepanier...etc.

here is the link...i think on the home page you should...lookin thru the events..you should be able to find some stuff on power tour years past...but all the stuff thats gonna be goin on, including the dyno challenege bikinin contests, car shows, bands, and drag racing will make it all worth it to me..lol

ya he did it last yr with his nova wagon,not to sure if he will take that or anyother car he has in his stable
i always wanted to do it i just hope my ride will be done before it

It's almost enough to make me wish I was still in MO. Wait... no... it was 76 degrees here today. Nevermind, I'm fine with FL!

[jturkey69]

this is in june tho^^...so im sure it will be hot as hell...esp in texas..lol

No, June in MO isn't too hot. Just very, very, very humid. You can practically put your hand out and scoop the moisture out of the air. Blech! :P

wow a big car event coming to GB wisconsin! I might have to go since its pretty much in my back yard!

[jturkey69]
