Greenbay was an absolute nightmare last time! I know we won't be starting there... They also want to make sure that we don't have to drive through Chicago again, so it won't be anywhere near there either.

We had rain in many cities, but the traffic in Chicago was pretty bad. When you have 3,000 Grade A cars driving through a town, you don't want them to be right in the middle of a major highway! They also mentioned that the people weren't very nice. It wasn't my decision to make... the Power Tour officials are the ones that said no Green Bay and definately no Chicago!

Yea traffic is always shitty around here. So I dont want to hear any of you Texas people complain. As far as people being ********, well yea we got alot of those too. But **** Hot Rod is located in Souther California which has worse traffic and way more ******** from my experiences.

Pffft... it probably isn't about not wanting to, but more along the lines of, as was stated earlier, some of the cars not being able to enter due to the People's semi-Socialist Republik of Kalifornia's emissions standards.

tulsa was the place they did it right "police escort"so have no idea what you are talking about and the turnpike was a great race track opps highway

gateway was a great venue and I heard although it says upper midwest that will be the starting point that the HRM people were very happy with gateway
as far as ******** they are everywhere if you look for them. all and all car people are real people thats all
i have made many friends at the power tour and cant wait for next year
