Hot Rod Power Tour 2016

[Ackattack]

I just saw this, not sure if its been posted yet but here are the dates:

June 11 – Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, Louisiana
June 12 – Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas
June 13 – Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas
June 14 – LOCATION TO BE ANNOUNCED, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
June 15 – Remington Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
June 16 – Kansas Pavilion in Wichita, Kansas
June 17 – Kansas Speedway, Kansas City, Kansas

I don't know for sure how far / what parts I'll go on, but for sure I'll be in Wichita, as this is about 2 miles from my house! Most likely I'll be in Wichita and KC, and might see about OKC. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it other spots.

Sad it's not coming anywhere nearby to me this year. Had a lot of fun last year...my 5th PowerTour...got to hang out at the hotel and cruise along with Tom Bailey (of Drag Week fame...in his gold Z28).

A few pics from the HotRod Blog. They got some pics of my Blazer and K/10.

I went back in 2002: from Lincoln NE to KC. Got a little 1x1 photo in the magazine

[Bagd72Chevy]

Im in. Went last year, and its starts in my hometown.

I did the 2013, and 20 year anniversary 2014 long haul. Missed 2015 but signed up for this years and going the long haul again I hope.

That's awesome. I'll definitely have to catch them in OKC as I've never had the opportunity to make it to a stop before.

[Andy4639]

If you have never done the tour you don't know what your missing!
There is no other show like it in the world!

[boost addict]

I'll be there. Did it in 2012, 2013, and 2015.

Trying to get my twin turbo 67 Continental finished. My C10 is nowhere near ready.

I started a thread about this in the Midwest region forum, but no one ever looks in there. I'm for sure doing from Dallas to KC. I have my rooms booked already. It's something I have always wanted to do. I cant wait!

[CST10]

I plan on going, it starts in my home town......Gonzales, La

[jmking9]

From other forums, I'm hearing that the Dallas/Fort Worth stop is at Traders Village in Grand Prairie. I made reservations near there just in case. Has anyone heard anything different.

[JWall]

Me & a few other buddies with trucks will be at the OKC stop for sure.

Don't know that we will be on the road with the tour but we will at least be there at the stop.

[Bagd72Chevy]

This is my 67 right now. No excuses for not making it,

[New_70'C10]

That's the attitude bag'd. I'm sure with many all niters you'll be there.

I joked that I should finish my chevelle in time for it.....I guess I have to start on it to finish it

[68shortwide]

I told myself I'd go this year since I actually have something cool to do it in, well I'm a lot further behind that i thought i'd be and i don't have the money to finish it and do the tour both, so here's to next year!

[Bagd72Chevy]

My 67 will go together quick. I bought the truck and LS swapped it in 2 weeks to go on Power Tour last year. Burned up the 4L60 just South of St. Louis unfortunately. So while it was apart I figured Id remove the cab and clean it up good.

[RootBeerFXS]

I"ll be going this year. 4d paint job and all. I went in 2013 and I am sure the view will not be as good as the Smokies but I'm definitely making the long haul.

[Andy4639]

I know Jesse form here and I are planning to go so if any one else is going maybe we can all hook up one day at least a do that day's route together are even the whole week.
PS if anybody needs a room mate are mates me and Jesse are looking. This is for the whole week worth.

I am planning to go, but unless my '50 pickup is 100% done and the bugs are shook out I'll be taking my 2015 Challenger Scat Pack...not a bad compromise...

My Dad will bring his '62 Nova I think. We are talking about long-hauling and booking rooms soon. This will be my first HRPT. Any tips?

Make the most of it. The week will fly by!
Make some road buddies and ride in a pack. Have plenty of water.

I'll be going for the 3rd year in a row (2nd long haul). I'll be taking my car though, the truck needs too much and the car has proven itself (made the +/-3,500 mile round trip last year.)

[68basket]

I will be doing the long haul again this year in my 1960 parkwood along with my brother in his 64 chevelle.

Tried several times to upload all the photos from Day 1 at HRPT2016. The WiFi at our hotel is about as slow as dial up. I'll wait till the next stop to get everything posted. We met a couple of folks from the forum today and took photos of quite a few '67-'72 vintage trucks. We left just as the skies opened up and the rains came. Believe it or not, there was a line of traffic arriving in the downpour. Plenty hot and humid before the rain cooled it off. Lots to see and long lines at all the vendor tents. Houston bound in the morning.
