Doing the Long Haul. This is #6 or 7 for me. Our 2011 Camaro convertible will be featured in the Magna Charger booth at each city.

Will69Camaro and Hybred are also going, taking their 2010 Camaro SS. It will be featured in the Nitto Tire booth.

Consider this your invitation. It is open to anyone who registers! First week of June.

Power Tour is THE best car show on Earth, period. Over 2,000 cars usually do it start to finish, and another 2,000 cars show up at each event. About 3500-4000 cars at each city. All the media, magazines, TV shows are present.

Do they sponsor your builds or do you just have friends with investors?
