Heck no! We're adding you as a "stop". So you'll be with us!!

It was way too far between Charley's and my place - so you're in the perfect spot there! How many people can you sleep?

There used to be a "plaque" you could buy for your boat... it read... This boat drinks 10... feeds 4... and sleeps 2. It always made me laugh.

I agree! We need something like the Power Tour out here. Hell, I'd go in my truck if I had to just to be a part of it.

Northeast Rod Run · #5 10-21-2009, 04:34 PM

it's like Hot Rod Magazine got lost in the center of the country.

they came out to the east coast in 1999 and then didn't come back until 2006. I thought that was ok because in 2006 they ended in Jersey so based on their previous years (and now following years), they always started off where they ended the previous year. well guess what.................they took a break from doing that in 2007

I had to fix that in 2008 so I started my own yearly trip (3 days long) through the Northeast. the first year we had 14 cars. this year we had something like 27 or 28. I figure next year should come close to doubling again

much better secenery in the Northeast, than there is in the Midwest, and we do it in October with foliage season near peak (as it was with the original Power Tours) so there is no worry of sweating to death if a car doesn't have A/C, and no worrying about engine temps getting to hot either

I should start a thread of the trip I set-up to see if there is any interest for next year

as far as the west coast goes why dont all you all get together and set somthing up. i bet if you did it would get popular quick i'm pretty shure there would be at least one mag covering it. hell some of us east coast guys have been wanting a reason to drive out to the west coast. ummmmm that is if i can ever get this dam car done lol

It's easy to say -- "someone should" -- but these things take massive amounts of work -- and the minute you start to "run it" - you have lability 'risk' if something happens to someone along the way... and on and on and on...

Even our little car club - Northwest Classic Chevy Club - keeps a D&O policy. We run a "tri five only" show (Just happens to be the largest one in the WORLD with 300 '55/ '56 / '57 CHEVYS only) ... and if someone gets hurt... we're going to be on the hook.

In order to make it 'worthwhile' to the vendors you'd want to stop to see - it needs the backing of a publication. They (the vendors) need the milage out of the advertising... So as much as I 'agree' with you. It's just too much to ask someone to do.

Yep! But that won't stop a bunch of us friends from cruzing together!! And if we do/schedule things right Nick and Steve will be there with us!!

I have always thought that the Nevada, Arizona and So Cal guys could meet up with us NW guys in Nor Cal. I'm sure the Pozzi's know of a GG's Show and auto-x we could all attend...and if we are real lucky Dave will even show us a road course!

just a thought........
