I want to see that Charger! My first car was an 88 daytona, and i am thinking of buying another. I also will be going from Ames to Rochester in my V8 Miata.

Thats awesome this year how it's going from Arkansas (my home state) to Wisconsin (next to where I live now). I'll definitely be getting on the Power Tour this year. Just gotta get the car ready now.

I am going for the Long Haul again this year. This will be my 6th long haul! Always a blast! I will have quite a long haul before and after the Power Tour though being from NC, but it's worth it.

Does the tour usually travel on the interstates? Lots of racing at nights? How do they regulate that many hot rodders?
I am looking forward to it.

Most of the travel is not on the interstate highways. You get to see alot more of this great county on good ol 2 lane highways. The tour is pretty cool and laid back. Local and state law enforcement regulate what is going on where ever the tour is. I am not saying that no street racing goes on but it is not a smokey burnout contest going on at every red light in every town either. The Cops in general have been pretty kool in my experiences with them. But if you show your azzz you can get busted. Getting busted a long way from home can be an adventure to say the least.

They give you a route but you don't have to take it. Alot of people take the interstate too. Either way you will be among a lot of rot rodders. I have video of my friend in about 30 street races last year in it. It's a blast.

I never make reservations and always find a good deal at good place to stay..too much planning takes the edge off the road trip buzz that the HRPT gives you..
