Setting a new trend!

This trip is great, great fun. Kinda like Hot Rod Power Tour, but at the speed of Pro-Touring.

I've never driven cross country before, so this is simply FANTASTIC!

Bill, Yancy, Mark and Danny have helped to pull together this great trip. THANK YOU GUYS!!

I brought my Sony HDV gear, and thanks to Kevin and Kelle from V8TV about 2 hours of proshot video of the trip was captured, including the photoshoot at the Route 66 museum, rolling shots of all the cars and more. So great you guys rolled with us today!

Brian Finch's neighbor is one hell of a great hand to all of us, too.

Chris Petris is riding and driving with me. If any of you remember the tranny swap we did in the '65 Corvette on 2004 Hot Rod Power Tour at the St. Louis stop at GM's big rig, that was Chris. He was the tech editor for Corvette Fever, and now working as tech editor for the Amos Automotive Enthusiast mags (Chevy, Pontiac, Mopar, Muscle Car). While we were washing the Arkansas mudslide off our cars, Chris was busy troubleshooting and fixing a sema exhibitor's rig that broke down, carrying two killer pieces for the show. Chris got them back on the road, then joined us for the photoshoot to capture shots for the upcoming magazine feature he is doing on our trip.

Looks like a great time. Catching a little Americana on the way to SemaVille NV. Have fun and drive safe. See you all next week.

Thanks V8TV for the coverage on video!

wow! can't believe you guys went to the 66 museum! My crazy redneck family used to have our reunion across the street at the hotel there (apparently that was where elvis used to stay when he was in town )
