I heard 5,000 powertour registrants
 

We are scheduled to pull out at 9am after our drivers meeting, and i di hear there were 5,000 sold out powertour registrants. WOW !!!

Cant wait to see us all cruising up the highway !!!!

Lord, that many cars on 441N will be a nightmare. I think the number leaving here will be about half that. The official picture taker (Photoline) rents from me. I will talk with him later and see how many pictures he took of cars leaving. That will be a close head count. I think today we will take a small detour and not get hung up in the traffic. In a couple days they will iron out all the traffic details, but I look for today to be rough. See everyone in gainsville. :thumbsup:

You'll learn very quickly to skip the drivers meetings and hit the road early. Much nicer drive that way and still tons of cool cars on the road.

There will be several cobra (roadsters) waiting for you guys at Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway on Wed.

Why no west coast power tour?Anybody have a idea why?

If I remember right (and I might be wrong) I think the first one started in California I believe San Bernardino. They should switch off every other power tour. For me to do power tour now I need to drive 3000 miles, do the power tour, then drive 3000 miles back. Long long long haul group. Im still planning on doing it next year if no west coast start location.

Not to mention the humidity and the rain LOL......

I would be all over a West Coast Power Tour too but if you looked at a map of Hot Rod subscribers as well as people that patronize the hot rod aftermarket, it would be predominantly East of the Mississippi.
Just look at the attendance numbers at GoodGuys Columbus and NSRA's Louisville shows.

Maybe another puplication could organize some type of tour on the west coast.I don't think they need 5000 entries to make it a success.
We could run up the coast or right up through the high speed desert.The coast would be better I think,there isnt much out in the desert.Say Las Vegas up to Washington maybe....just a thought.

Man that sounds like a hell of good time!!! What does it usually cost to go on that from start to finish , with motel, meals ,fuel and etc.???
