For those who couldn't make it this year, aka myself, how was it. I will be done with college in May so I should be able to do it next year. Post up your experiences from this year.

i just put up a thread titled "worst power tour ever" :jest:
but you really should try to make it. during the first day you just walk around in awe, it really is something else. the guys i went with have been doing it for 7 years, and they can't get enough. this year was pretty rough for me, but if i'm able to, i'd still do it again.

I had a great time, except for the crappy roads; I'll no longer complain about the roads in Florida.....Damn bumps broke my manual mirror adjuster (don't ask how, I don't know :( ) and my rear ABS sensor failed....hmmm, thank goodness nothing mechanical. Met the Detroit Speed owners at my hotel in Evansville, got lost on the way to Memphis, and chilled once we arrived in Little Rock. Only bad thing, the heat, it was way too hot.... But, there's next year, and I plan on Long Haulin' vs. the half I did this year. Definately go, well worth it, and if anyone plans on going to Little Rock next year to start it off from Florida, let me know, I'm on the way there, up here in the Panhandle.

We only went from Racine to Little Rock - not quite the long haul - and had a great time. Already planning on doing the long haul next year and have already convinced a couple of locals into going along after telling them of the experiences we had this year. At this time we plan on bringing 2 cars ourselves - the TA we took this year along with the 928 ;) - already counting the days ;)
Was glad to meet a few other LS1TECH'ers on the tour

I figured Tony and Myself would run into a lot more LS1tech'ers (Only met like 4 or 5)
but then again, we were not displaying who we were, nor were we constantly by the cars.

I would have liked to have met some guys from here, but between the autocross in Evansville, getting lost on the way to Memphis, and looking at cars in Little Rock, I didn't happen to come across anyone, but I did see some cars with LS1tech decals on them. Hopefully next year.
