2017 HRPT in a 72 Super with my wife and sons

[57Suburb]

I saw a boat load of C10s roll by yesterday, but danged if I miss yours. I took two bathroom breaks in the 5 hours I sat out by the road. You probably rolled by during one of them.

where are you? I live about 30 minutes away.
You know they typically start the next year where they end the year before...

I saw a lot of C10s, burbs, and a lot of cool out of the box type stuff. It really bummed me out not being able to long haul this year. Maybe next year.

I took my 6 year old little girl with me yesterday. She had had enough of the heat at 3:30 so we began the trek out then. It took us a good 20min just to get out to the main road. I was impressed with all the cars and trucks coming in at that point. It made me rethink why we got up early to catch them coming through that morning. I saw some friends just getting in as we left too. I wish you all safe travels and keep making your updates so we all can follow along with you the rest of the way!

I looked for you in KC. But I must have missed you. Thanks for posting the pics!

[tarafied1]

thanks for looking for me guys. I did meet a few from here, sorry I missed others.

I looked all day Sunday to find Frieburger and Finnegan and never saw them. I was bummed about that. Haha

I saw somewhere that they wouldn't be on the tour this year, are the cars just being trailered around?

They were all over last year, I saw them so many times the "celebrity" wore off and they were just two dudes

Finnegan actually drove the muscle truck along the entire route, I saw him rolling in it a few times (in 2016).

Rudlege wood also had a crew last year that ran twin green 67/68 Camaros. We ran into him at a gas station and talked for 5 minutes or so. He said my car was "cool". I gushed like a school girl

yeah, Pilot Transport is a sponser and hauling the Roadkill and other Hot Rod magazine cars around. Rutledge Wood is driving the tour in a 70 Charger. Saw him today

I think I was at that same Casey's in Marshellville?
I also got a pic of my truck at the Worlds Largest Truck Stop, sorry we didn't meet up

There was some FB sightings yesterday at a gas station, it looks like a nice car too. You don't see too many white Chargers.

on the Mothers Blog for day three they posted a picture of my son's car with a little blurb

we had a good day. We did get into some wicked weather in Southern Illinois but it was so hot we welcomed the rain. After the sun came back out it was incredibly miserable At Gateway. Then it started raining again. We packed it up and went to the hotel for some relief.
I'll post up some pics and video later

Man I've been missing out by not following this thread. Thanks for keeping those of us who couldn't tag along up to speed.

[Mator]

I did not get to meet you. It is so hard with so many people. I had a great time. Here are a few picts of the start of every morning and one of the cool retro gas station at the I80 truck stop. I will try and put them in order of the day one, two and three.

[Burbor]

I'll be heading out tomorrow morning to meet up with the Power Tour at Indy and continue on to Bowling Green. First time at Power Tour! Love to meet some of the folks from here.

Here's what my Burb looks like:

[tarafied1]

Thanks, I hope you can too. It's been pretty hot and yesterday some bad storms but it is a great time. I'll post up more pics this weekend. I need to download them and internet is pretty slow at the hotel

[tarafied1]

well we made it! The old truck did great! My son's car did too. Sadly there was a fatal crash on the tour and we lost one of the hot rodders.
My friends 61 Bubble top Impala also broke down about 40 miles from the end of the tour. We had it towed to my house and we spent the night getting it fixed so they can drive home to Texas in the morning. It's been a really long day. I will post up some pics and vids after we get settled back in at home.
