It's almost here! I feel like a kid before christmas!

After all those months of work, the car is finally ready for the 3,600 mile trek. This year it's from Milwaukee Wi to Kissimmee Fl. (Of course I have to suffer Disneyland and Weeki Watchee in exchange for my week of car heaven :) It's worth it!)

So for anyone along the path, here's where we are going...


June 4 Miller Park - Milwaukee, WI
June 5 Illinois State Fairgrounds - Springfield, IL
June 6 Indianapolis Raceway Park - Indianapolis, IN
June 7 Gaylord Opryland Resort - Nashville, TN
June 8 Birmingham Race Course - Birmingham, AL
June 9 North Florida Fair - Tallahassee, FL
June 10 Osceola Heritage Park - Kissimmee, FL
June 11 return to Osceola Heritage Park for Long Hauler Award and Photo


Every stop will be a car show, and most will include drag racing. (I hope I can race, my wife seems to belive that any kind of racing will result in immediate death or dismemberment.)

Woo Hooo! :)

I went to Power Tour a few years ago with my dad, when it went through New Orleans. It was pretty awesome, and I got a lot of pictures. Whatcha gonna be driving?

I think we can swing a stop in Chicago for lunch on Friday the 3rd... :)


And anyone else interested, I'm driving my '68 Mustang. (I'd post another image, but I think the mods would make a new forum just for my car posts!)

If your in the area on one of those days, PM me and I'll give ya a cell # to home in on us.

:P

94... right by you in the AM then up and around the skyway... before rush hour(s) I'll keep a close eye out for your pets crossing the road. :)

That ferry trip is 250 - 300.00 Not worth it to me. As for the UP... maybe next year, as it is I'm putting almost 4k miles round trip. That's gonna be hard enough to clean up! :lol:
