The 'Wicked Witch' will be pointed toward beautiful, downtown (and snow-free) Concord, NC come early June. It will be my 1st PowerTour...really looking forward to 'long-hauling' it.

I will be at the Dells for the wrap up, I cant make the whole trip (someday maybe), but might as well show up to see the long haulers

I'm still planning to go. I'm not taking two vehicles again this time, though. My dad's letting me take his 87 MCSS so the wife and kids and I can all ride together.

I'll be doing at least Concord through West Virginia. This is the whole deadline for my Nova, so hopefully it's on the road by then... but if not, I'll probably be in my 99 z28. I was at the wrap-up in Concord last year for my first Tour experience, and can't wait to actually drive a few legs this year!

Going to try to make whole haul this year be my first! Have couple motor, trans, suspension set up to work out but should not be major issues. Worst case is I go from WV through Ohio for couple legs

Sam, are you making this an annual event? Obviously it's still early, but I'm thinking about long hauling in 2015.

Tu, I'm trying to make it annually, but it depends on the routes.

Driving my Z (nic-named PENNIES, as I have built it on a true pennies budget in comparison to some of my friends truly ultimate pro-touring builds):)

Made the Tour in 2012 and had a blast..... Looking forward to seeing the crowd of octane crazed car lovers again......

I am hoping to get in the last couple of legs in the tour.pending the kids last day of school. they had so many days off from extreme cold weather they have to make up the days so I am crossing my fingers.

Was really hoping to make it this year, but it will take a miracle to have the car done in time.

I'm planning on Bettendorf and The Dells with the wife in her 98 Camaro convertible.

Too far north for us. Too bad because the car would enjoy the exercise!

Too far north? We're driving from Arizona.

I'm going to hit the Norwalk, OH stop. My schedule is too tight to do any more than that.

I'll be going at least through Norwalk. I'll drive "Shirley" my 73 Camaro Z28. I'm from Charlotte NC area so that's handy for this year's start.https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif (http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/goodwrench1965/media/BigDog5-182.jpg.html)

You're right on that James but with me starting the new gig with the school district I won't be able to do it anyway. I'll be lucky to catch thursday and friday of cruisin' the coast at this point. They're having a car show at Gallery Night this week and I'm going to try to make it just for kicks. Hope to see you soon buddy!

I wanted to go, but school came up and its always on the opposite side of the country from me! We need a West Coast Power Tour!!!

We gave up on that idea of them coming west years ago!! Most of the readership is back east and it's TOO many miles between stops out west. Personally, I think distance and the heat scares the **** out of most of them. You would be amazed how many are overheating when it's only 80-90 degrees out.

Wow, if I had time, money and car ready it would be nearly 2500 mile round trip, almost $400 in fuel not allowing for hotels, souvenirs, food and snacks and sundry chemicals/parts.
YEEEESH, Thanks Obama and libs for jacking up economy. I remember me and buddy hitting three stops on '97 Power Tour, we both started on minimum cash and made to St Louis, Springfield Ill and the next stop, forget name.
I took like $100, my buddy had $150 and credit card which got us room in Ill. Had a blast and only break down was bad dimmer switch.

What a day at Norwalk yesterday! Met a bunch of great people, including Rod at the Ridetech booth, lined my 'Bird up next to my Grandfather and ran down the strip and got a POUND of ice cream for a buck! It would have been a perfect day had my shifter linkage not come apart 50 miles from home! :)

Can't wait to Long Haul next year!

I wish I could do the last leg of the tour but can't. I do plan on driving down to Bettendorf in the evening and hopefully seeing some cool rides. I can't even bring the camaro because I've got a family of 5 and only 4 belts as of now. So I figured i'd bring the next best thing so I can include the kids and wife. Watch out! I figure its better to drive this and bring the kids then not come out at all. Drive safe and look for the guy wearing the AMSOIL shirt pushing a stroller!
