Re: 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour

We went on the 2010 trip (Long Haul). The added up to about 3000+ miles on the 84 SWB. I imagine that this year will not be in our plans. It takes too much cash away form the desired things. I am going to start working on the 68 truck, this winter.

Over the years we have spent a lot of time doing the Power Tour. We were on the very first one in 1995, and then many others after that. I like the trip, but the running the back roads, like they did this year just out right stinks, too many stops. Try getting 50 to 100 ( that is the size some of the groups of cars become---of course everyone is basically lost) cars through a stop light or stop sign in a little back roasd community. It takes forever.


HINT to those that have never done this: If you are going down a backroad and there is no one sitting along the side of the road waving at you---YOU ARE OFFICIALLY LOST and no longer on the planned route.
