I'd love to do that someday!  Maybe they'll start/end it a bit closer to me one day.

How far are you Tom?
My first Long Haul started in Kissimmee, FL. and ended in EnglishTown, NJ. Just starting, then finishing, I had to drive about 1100 miles to get there and home.  This didn't include the Power Tour Miles.

I've met families that drive out from California and also Maryland.  Once you drive a couple of legs, you'll realize that this isn't a monthly car cruise show.

It's all car guys (and girls)
and car guys like hanging out with other car guys.

It is SO worth the drive.  I drove from Chicago to Little Rock in one day to get there.



If you guys can make it to my little shindig, it is June 5th at Lakeland Camping Resort.  www.lakelandcampingresort.com

Like I said, I either have to get the 71 going or get that 09 picked up.

Thanks for the invitation Ryan. I'm usually driving the night before to start the tour. You have plenty of time to decide what to take by june.

Tom, whats another 16 hours of driving if you already drove 16?   If you've noticed, many of the Power Tour stops have been in the Midwest lately. I guess that they get the most entries in this area. But I know what your're saying. I've never driven my car to Mopars at the Strip in Vegas and probably wouldn't go to California if the PT was there.

I see what your saying.LOL  I bet it's midwest for the nice driving.  I doubt they'd want to drive down through Boston then NYC. :smilielol:

Maybe they'll hit NJ again someday.  I could mentally handle that.  Hey you never know.
