Hot Rod Power Tour by air:
High points:
Hanging out with my dad for a few days.
3 Days of car shows and thousands of cars I have never seen before.
Interesting small towns to roll on through.
Seeing some of the cars you saw at the show, tearing it up on the track.Low points:
It was hot each day, so you needed to find shade to sit in, and you weren’t by your car
There was real no way to see all the cars; you could, but you would have to walk like 5 miles to do it (in the heat).
You would spend 3-4 hours at the show and then it was on the road to your hotel, so you didn’t have much time to do much site seeing.
If you don’t time it right, you could be sitting for a long time trying to get into a venue.I drove by this today … it is on I55 … it is call the Pink Elephant Antiques
http://www.yelp.com/biz/pink-elephant-antique-mall-livingston-2
Country Classics was also pretty close to this place too:
http://countryclassiccars.com/
also saw this on I55 too … 150 project cars for sale:
My group rolled out at 9AM from Springfield, IL and we met up with the route for about 35 miles and then the route went on new route 66 and we went on old 66 … We rolled into the venue at 12:20 and we crawled to our spot for about 25 minutes (parked in pit row)… We spoke to some other folks that got in at 2:00 and the gridlock started 9 miles out from the venue …
After we parked we found a great place in the shade a large canopy to set our chairs under.
The track also had a drag strip and their were plenty of folks beating the hell out of their cars.
Total miles so far ~700 … MPG 19.5 …
Lessons learned …
I traveled with a couple of veteran power tour couples including one, that this was their 10th tour … They knew the back roads like the back of their hand and they made it super stress free to just follow them.
We probably only drove on about 40 miles of the actual route, so we didn’t have to crawl the route (the 40 miles we did do it was fun to see the folks in the small towns with signs and waving at us).
Each evening we would leave the venue and drive to our hotel 60-90 miles ahead of the route and made sure we would pull in by 1PM into the venue so we didn’t have to wait inline for an hour …Horribly long food lines, we we ate a big breakfast and had snacks in our chairs and then had a big dinner.
So would I do it again? Yes … but I would probably wimp out and want to drive a newer muscle car ….
The Dirty Bird:
Day 2 … Spent about 125 miles of 200 in the rain, with times it was so heavy I was thinking of pulling over.
There was no rain in Champaign for the show … not as many cars as there were in madison …
I have not tried to clean my car since Friday, and I probably won’t touch it til I get home…
