Hot Rod Power Tour
 
Any one going?

Looks like kind of a mid-west tour.

Wish I could go but they'll be in Davenport, IA, only 30 miles from my place. Might have to go check it out. Our local car club is hoping they'll stop in our town on the way to Madison but we'll see.

Not this year. Been on 6 of them but it's just to far to drive before and after. :chevy:

Nope. That route sucks, especially having to drive from the coast just to get there. Not interested in any of the stops.

No, but it is a bucket list item for sure!

Me either Andy. My shop has taken all of my $ and time, and it really is just too far from start to finish. All of my cars have been neglected for about a year and need work anyway. 2021 might not be much better for us.

I've been on 4 (3 longhauls start to finish, all in my 65 Mustang, one totaled 3600 miles so I'm not afraid of the miles :) )

Its on my bucket list and I've been changing up things on my truck the last few years just so stuff like alternator, starter etc are up to snuff and I've had a 700R4 installed as well but I realize anything can happen. This year it ends in Madison Wisconsin only 1200 miles from here, two 600 mile days, and I'm hoping in 2021 it swings a tad more westward and ends in Kansas or Missouri and that's about as far West as I think it will go.

Power Tour is a highlight of my entire year when I get the chance to go. Extremely fun time .

I have never done the power tour, but Davenport is only 5 hours from us. So we are going to hit Davenport and go to Madison and see how it goes. Wife and I are looking forward to it. Should be fun.

I hope it doesn't get canceled like Disney and every major sport is right now.

They pushed it back from June to Aug, but I am going! My first one ever and I can't wait! Who cares if the stops suck? We are there to hang out with hot rod folk and have fun! The cities are lucky for the revenue!

We've done the tour a few times. Both long haul and a few stops. It is a great time. But book your hotels now as they are bought out at sometimes twice the price normal. As said above it is great fun for car folks.

Re: Hot Rod Power Tour
 
You will have a good time I'm sure. I have always had a blast when I go. I look forward to it coming back my way either at the start are finish. I just can't see having to drive both ways over 10 hours.

I have even been thinking about doing Car's & Cones one year.
