Power tour 2017
Can we start a list of who is going and at what point you plan on attending?
I am hoping to start in Newton to Davenport and maybe Champaign. I would like to go all the way to Kansas City but not sure yet.:metal: |

I can't make it this year, just not enough vacation time with what we had planned this year. I'm hoping to install my new crate engine and 5 speed in the C10 this fall/winter, I'd love to take the C10 next year. |
Re: Power tour 2017
My problem is I leave for a 7 day vacation on the 14th. So for me to take off on the 12th and 13th is pushing it. I have wanted to do this since I first attended as a visitor 4 years ago but was never complete enough until now to join in. Auto cross is the first day in Newton and the speedway. I would be interested in the dyno too. I have to be pushing at least 250 hp to the rear wheel. Lol, better not get my hopes up.

Re: Power tour 2017
I plan on going to KC, then to Newton, and maybe Davenport. My brother is taking my 72, and I'm taking a 95 F350 since I didn't get my 40 Ford done. (It still won't be done in June) :lol:

Re: Power tour 2017
We are heading out in my 68 Tuesday morning from the Oregon Coast towards KC for Power Tour. Isn't there usually a group that heads out on I90 from Seattle together? We are heading up to 90 so we can hit Mt Rushmore on the way.

Finalized our tour. We will drive to KC and continue to Newton and Davenport. I hope to meet some of you there.:metal:

We rolled in around in around 3 pm. We were parked out by the Dyno test. It looked pretty organized on parking so I have to say good job and thanks. We enjoyed the cruise and stayed around 65 most of the way. The parking was really easy at Newton, When we got back to Davenport it sucked. They guys I was with started over heating just trying to get in the fairgrounds and we spent 1 1/2 hours across the street at O'Reilly's. Over all it was one the best times I have had doing car stuff. I was proud of my old truck. Made it from Camanche Iowa to KC, Newton and back to Davenport with no problems. I cant wait till it gets close again I will defiantly be on it again.:metal:

Re: Power tour 2017
I looked for your truck in Newton but we left at around 3 or so. My daughter was with me and she had enough of the heat. She sure loved seeing all the cool rides though. I sure wished they'd announce the routes sooner than they do.

Re: Power tour 2017
Thanks, it was after 3 when we came in. We stopped a couple of times to watch the cars go by and for lunch. Every gas station was a car show and we just took our time and enjoyed it. Looks like they might going east this year. I will so be on it again. I would like to meet more people from this board.

Re: Power tour 2017
Wow! I'm surprised they announced it so soon. Last year it seems like they waited until 3 months before it happened.

Re: Power tour 2017
My rat truck likely won't be roadworthy for that. I have been on parts of it with my other car though.

People are already reserving hotel rooms at the near the Corvette Museum. I found this on the Hot Rod Power Tour web site. I will be making my reservations soon. This has been on my bucket list for a while. |
Re: Power tour 2017
I've been getting my truck ready as I was planning on doing the 2019 Power Truck, and its a bucket list item and will be just afteer my 70th birthday. I was hoping it would swing westward this year and end somewhere in the midwest so in 2019 I'd have maybe a 800/1000 mile drive to the start of the tour. With it ending in Concord NC in 2018 that is where it will start from in 2019 and that is 2000 miles from me, so I will probably pass for 2019.

Re: Power tour 2017
