farmer52 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I am participating in the 2014 Hot Rod Power Tour in June. The tour starts in Charlotte, NC on June 7th. Some friends and I are driving from OH to Charlotte starting on Friday (6th). I am attending the first three (3) stops...Charlotte NC (7th), Knoxville TN (8th), and Charleston WV (9th). On Tuesday afternoon (9th) I will be driving to PA so I can get ready for Macungie. However the tour continues thru OH, IN, IA, and ends in WI. See link below.http://www.familyevents.com/event/229If you are close, there is no cost to view the vehicles. If you want to see alot of different vehicles, this is a great venue. Also, if you have a vehicle and want to participate, there is daily registration. Refer to link for details.BTW, I am not driving the MH but my late brother's 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35852-hot-rod-power-tour/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Probably no Drag Week. It's limited to 260 entrants processed payments. I'm number 297. Hot Rod says to come anyhow because some people don't show up. I don't think I'll be driving over 1400 miles to Tulsa, Oklahoma on a maybe. I'll be looking for your car on HRTV. . .put a bull dog on it to be seem Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35852-hot-rod-power-tour/#findComment-247199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing on my list we did was Route 66 in our 1941 Chevy in 1989, than we kept putting things off for later on. After the Ohio trip later on is now.

farmer52 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am back from the HR tour. I have not been on the interweb since Saturday night. Guessing at least 1000-2000 cars each day. Knoxville, TN had a very nice show grounds and seemed well prepared to handle all the cars and crowd. Charlotte was a "cluster" in my book (only 3 food stands and they were out of food by 2pm) and Charleston, WV was not much better. I took over 200 pics and my friend took about 100. As soon as I can get them organized and uploaded to Photobucket, I will post a link.Stay tuned!P.S. Found some eye candy at the Gunk display today! P.S. 2 - Staxx, did not read your post until tonight. Sorry or I would have tried to locate your friend.

farmer52 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hey farmer does the gtp have little grand prix mud flapsNo, there are no flaps. By the design of the side skirts behind the front and rear wheels, I don't think one could install flaps. I searched the interweb and never found "moulded" flaps for the GTP.
