Default Power Tour 2012! Who's in?

Never too early to start planning for the next Power Tour.
It runs from Detroit to Texas next year. 2011 was a blast, can't wait for what's in store for 2012.

I took the old man(Dad) with me last year, here's a pic rolling out of the Proving Grounds.

I'm in. I'm have not decided whether to do the long haul or not. If I can get with a group of long hauler's I'll do it. I did the whole thing in 2008.

They still have not posted up the entire route. It will start in Detroit and will finish in Arlington @ Jerry World.

I am def going this year in my 03 z06. I believe my brother is also going in his 04 Goat. We would be open to cruising up to Detroit with a caravan. We are in the Dallas area.

Then you just don't get it.

Every single day of Power Tour is a blast, and is basically like car-guy heaven. Of course, if you aren't really a car guy, then I can see how it could also be girly-man hell.

Its also a chance to really see this great country we live in. Anyone can get on a plane and go to Hawaii, but few people drive across this country and take in the beauty of the farmland, mountains, rivers and other land features with a group of roaring hotroders with the same interests as you. Last year was my first PT and I'm hooked for life. Plus its a great chance to bond with your passenger. A week in a car will bring out some crazy conversations.

Wow because it doesnt interest me in driving like that I am not a car guy and I am a girly-man. I am sure it is a blast and a lot of fun but maybe I first of all I dont have the time to devote to it and second maybe I dont have the money. You dont know me, my manlyness or how much of a car I am. But I sure am glad a admin of the board took the time to call me names...
