02SSLE, Badass car. I saw your car on the whole tour and was next to you driving from the show to the hotels back in Lincoln. Met the other guy (can't remember his name) from Bad Boys Racing with the black corvette from L.R. while in Rochester. Nice guy and sweet car also. Glad to see you guys made it home safe.

I made it home at about 10:00 last night after dropping off my co-driver. This was my first Power Tour and Long Haul ever and I would definitely do it again.

Nice to meet ya too. It was a good time, I now have a small trans problem. On the way home and getting off the interstate the trans started to slip.

It was nice meeting so many people on the Tour once again. Got in last night around 10:00.

Can't wait till next year. Lets hope for a tad bit different route though.

Quarterracer, I met you over in Madison and talked to ya for a little bit. Love your car and looks great. That black chrome on there is a perfect match and looks badass on your car. Maybe I'll meet you guys again sometime. Hell, might see you in Springfield for the Dynomax supernationals.

Some of these cars look familiar. I wish I met everyone, sorry that I did not.
I got home yesterday afternoon ALMOST without incident. Only 20 miles from home and I ran over a block of wood and bent 2 of my Fikse wheels I caught a glimpse of it a fraction of a second before I ran it over and I think it was a 4x4 block!!! Oh well, could have been worse. Tires still held air so I made it home. Called Fikse to see how much they may cost to fix...then I called the insurance co.




Car is trashed...

It was good to meet and visit with you. Not sure if my car will put out good enough numbers for the Dynomax supernationals but since it really isn't to far I may still make the trip up there as long as I don't have any scheduling conflicts.

Sunset01SS, sorry to hear about the wheels. I definitly saw your car up there and it looks much nicer in person than in pictures.

Now I just need to detail the car again and put it back in the garage to give it a good long break.

I raced the Turbonetics car a couple of times and spanked that *** bad. I raced several others also. A Procharged 69 Camaro and spanked his ***. I had alot of fun. Next year they announced that the Tour will stop at GM development center.
