Hell, at least in the western half of the country? At least we don't have hail and torrential downpours..

Exactly. Once in awhile isn't a lot to ask. It's not like they wouldn't have a nice turnout. And there is little to no chance of rain out here!

We'd have a great turnout -- and I already have a route planned!!!

We could start at Todds - go over to Steves - Up to Bakersfield to Rogers - Go up to your place - Continue on to Charley's - then on up to here - and then straight on up to Blakes!

How kool is that!??!

I like it Greg! We will just have to plan it for them and send them the itinerary!

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]

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
