2012 Hot Rod Power Tour

Well it's official

Well thanks to Uncle Sam and a few other things I will not be able to make this years Power Tour. Was syched and getting things ready to go but, simply can't make it happen this year.

Post lots of Pics, be safe and have a great time for those that are still going, I look forward to hearing about how things went.

Sorry to hear you can't make it Smitty. Hopefully, you'll still be able to make the Shootout.

Don't worry, I'm sure some pictures will get posted, but maybe not the incriminating ones:eek:
 
i wont miss it

I won't miss the shootout. I have to defend my title LOL! Just bad timing really for the power tour this time around. I should be able to make next years.

Thanks,
Take care and be safe.

Not to put any pressure (or guilt) on you, but there probably won't be a next year. There could be, but more than likely it'll take another 10 years to get even a couple of SC's to go on the Long Haul.

Micah is right. The last time I did the Long Haul was in 2002. I think Dalke did it as recently 2006. Plus, this also exceeds Niebert's personal 500 mile event limit...although, I think there is some flexibility there. Plus, Neibert owes Damon a trip to Carlisle, which always conflicts with the Power Tour.

Yeah...Even if everything goes great this time, I don't think I'll be doing the entire Power Tour again. That's just too far for me.

I am planning to attend Carlisle in 2013, and I will be bringing the car to PA on a trailer.

Might be able to meet up in Arlington on the last day. Of course everyone will be ready to get the heck out of dodge by then but it would be nice to meet a few of the SCer's.

The entire trip might be fun but 2600 miles not so much.

Keep in mind Anthony that this will not be an annual thing for most of our crew....not sure when the next time will be for me.

It will be nice to see what the mag says about all the SC's getting together. And nice one's at that. With substance too.
 
It would be cool to attend all the events but money is tight when you live off of social security disability and trying to keep an SC on the road. Maybe I can join up along the way just for a day.

It's all good. You should try to get to one of the Illinois stops. If you don't enter your car, I believe spectators get in free.
 
My car will not be up and running in time. Still have to install the motor and tranny. Just takes me awhile to get things done but I will eventually. Hoping to have it going by the shoot out.
