Default Power Tour 2011, who's in?

Well they announced today that the Power Tour will be ending in Detriot next year, and now everyone has a year to get ready. Who's going?

This was the only year we could make it. I'll be finishing law school next summer during this time. Maybe in a few more years we can do it again. Had a blast! And ending in Detroit will be awesome.

The guys from the GM Performance Division announced it on the main stage on friday. No mention of where it's starting, or even when. We'll just have to wait and see....

Is there a mailing list to sign up for to find out the schedule as soon as they release it? Or is following the forums my best bet?

Is there something specific there to subscribe to, or is just watching the site for updates the best option? I poked around and didn't see anything. Just trying to remove my remembering to check for it out of the equation.

If not I guess I can setup something automated to watch for it.

Go to hotrod.com then click on community...then click on forums...then click on power tour....or subscribe to hot rod magazine and it will be listed in the magazine when the tour dates and schedule is released...do not worry there will be plenty of time...you can either register ahead of time or just show up at the venue and pay your $$ ... nobody gets turned away if they have the $$ to get in...

If it ends in Detroit next yr, probably won't be a long hauler. Been to the Detroit area before and Mich. has the worst roads ever! Depends where it starts as to where we will jump in.

The 70 Camaro took a pretty good beating in the very hot temps this year, altho no major issues other than a quick alt. change bec it got tooooooo hot! That had happened before on Pwr Tour back in '07, so we carry a "spare" alt. with us, thank goodness we did!

If we do go on Pwr Tour next yr, considering taking the 02 SS 35thLE, still lots of time to think about it and will wait and see where it goes before deciding yay or nay.

If it ends in my hometown i'm all for it. Detroit put the world on wheels at thats where it should end and it would be even better if they scheduled it to end the weekend of the Woodward DreamCruise.

That would "in theory" be cool, but the reality would be gridlock for a week!

I've always wanted to go to the Woodward cruise, I've heard it's HUGE, definitley on my list of "to do's" some day.
