Variety is the spice of life...have you noticed that very little stays the same...I plan on rockin out no matter where is is as long as it on the east side of the rocky mountains...::rock::chug::drive:

Good info, lookin forward to another year. Wouldn't mind bringing my Cobra out for it unless the 93 T/A is done.

What would be cool is to end the power tour on the beach in Mississippi. Like at the Coast Colesium. Miles of beach on Hwy 90.


Been waiting YEARS for this.

As far as change.. my first tour was in '96... so yeah I get that it changes ;)

My over sight sorry about that but it is now corrected...I grew up not to far from there.

Cool, can't wait to get out there again.

-SS

Anyone know WHERE in Mobile it ends and the awards ceremony is?? Auditorium, Civic center, Battleship? Anyone?

It might take a little while to get the actual venue's hashed out, I see only a couple of the stops have actual venues as of now. I'm curious too, we'll have to wait and see!

-SS

i'll be there

Having the end and award ceremony at the USS Alabama site would be awesome. They have a HUGE grassed area where car shows are held and they have a covered indoor venue area.

what tracks are there in mobile?

Surprised that they are doing Springfield IL in downtown, think the fairgrounds are better - they do have the Route 66 Festival downtown though(run by Family Events also)

Live 10 miles outside of Springfield, last time they came through here we offered free camping for a number of those on the tour and will probably do so again - probably have a party Sunday night, not sure if we will do the tour though since we have already made vacation plans for late June/early July next year

Will update as we get closer ;)

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!

The miles will probable not be as you posted. There will be mostly 2 lane highway miles seeing the good ol USA instead of the interstate dull miles. But it will be fairly close to 1300 + whatever for the whole tour. I am looking forward to cruising through the part of the country where I grew up surounded by hot rods....:drive:

Heck ya, a stop in the town I grew up in and Mom's home cookin' to boot!

-SS

A quick 2 hour run and I'm there. Been waiting a long time. Maybe 2011 they'll make it to NOLA.

Great news in TN and bring more:cheers::cheers::D:D
I ll look forward ..

Count me in for part of the run for sure. I know some ark and tx friends will be on it also.:D:D:D

I definitely wanna be in on this, i've never been to anything like this before and I wanna see if the car can handle it

We will be picking it up in Springfield and going thru Chattanooga. Will be driving my dads 71 BB chevelle.
We went 3 days in 08 and 2 days in 07.

Also starting on thrus in nashville Chuck Hanson will be putting on his Chevelleabration show. It is by far the finest collection of Chevelles in the country.

Hope to have the 69 Camaro going so I can take it and the 2010.

Went in 2009 (Long Haul from Texas), pretty good tour and good weather. Loved the last stop @ Bristol but was Pissed at MSD for giving all the tour magnets out before I got there! Thats the only one I didnt get!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shit atleast, Im saving half of my pay check from every other week starting now just incase, This way I can start early and hopefully have enough for kooks headers and suspension upgrades. Lets hope I can just work enough hours

Ok while we're in TN I'm going to memphis for some dyers hamburgers, i just saw a show about them and it looks amazing. I should really start planning this out too

You better check your map .... Memphis is a long way to go from Chattanooga
for a phuchin burger ya saw on the food channel ... those places you see on those shows pay to get on there ... it just another way to advertise their sheeeiot...:nod:...just a FYI for ya...if your going to Memphis to eat something it better be Bar B Q ... that is what the city is known for...there are a bunch of killer Bar B Q joints in Memphis .. If you are going to take a trip to Memphis you might want to consider attending "MEMPHIS IN MAY" that is the national championship Bar B Q cookoff .... I get hungry just thinking about it ... nuff said

FireHawk, Memphis is a haul from Chattanooga. I grew up there so I could show you a good Tn. burger. Chattanooga is a great place to hangout with a nice downtown night life. Once again, I can't freakin' wait and it's all a part of the coolest car-guy thing you can do. I'll be coming from Texas for the Long Haul!

-SS

maybe we should start a list of good food places for each stop? the locals for each stop could point us in the right direction

^ agreed

^ agreed

Make ya a deal dude...bring me some real Italian Beef and the juice from the House of Vittori down by the U of Chicago campus and I will buy you all the burgers you can eat in Tennessee ... Atlanta has no clue on what a real Italian Beef Sandwich is...:nod:
