Will do. Plan to get registered this week.

Good for you Dan, I know what's it's like to get a new boss, I'm getting one soon, put in for my vacation before the other left, hope there's no problems with whoever they bring in

HRPT
 

That is good news Dan.

Looking forward to June.

Arrgh! SO close, yet so far. Right before we're taking vacation to Vegas! I'm going to check into this, but there's about a 1% chance of making even the first two legs. Would be sweet!

HRPT 14
 

Long hauler this year. Driving from Madison, WI to NC then all the way back. Having baby #2 this November, so I figured it has to happen now.

In anticipation:

I have all of the same except in Charleston and I still need to get my room in Ohio.

Looking forward to the long haul.

Who is going to Charlotte on Saturday, and for those experienced ones what time should I get there on Saturday

I'm probably going Friday, but I'd get there early Saturday. You need to register and then I usually try to visit a lot of the vendors that day so that I don't have so many places to visit at the other venues. I can look at cars and visit with more people if I get some of this done on Saturday!

Musclecargirl, guy, and boy will head out Saturday.

I-85 and Hwy 53 (Braselton) is a good place to meet for anyone that wants to drive up together. There is a Cracker Barrel there (I know muscle big boy needs him some breakfast), and we can figure out a time when it gets closer.

Please look for us and we'll look for you. You've actually found the same hotels we're staying in!

I'm pretty close to Year One. I've known Pat Staton for years. So glad they are still active with HRPT.

Did anyone sign up for the movie cruise in Knoxville?

I did, although it's the opposite way of the hotel. The one last year in Ft Worth was a blast!:thumbsup:

Diane, I indicated I would be interested in sharing costs / splitting the room in Wisconsin Dell (as did 2SS4JAS) but have heard nothing more about it. Do I need to book my own room or have I been included with your and driser's booking? I am also interested in info about the Knoxville Movie Cruise. How /where did you become aware of it? Have I missed a site that tells of side events on the HRPT? Thanking You In Advance...

I may very well do this.

I get my Stingray on the 28th, so I shouldn't have problems going.

Diane and I took care of the condo in Wisconsin so you can settle up with us once on the tour. I think there are five of us sharing the condo.

The Knoxville cruise sold out last week.

It will be here before we know it

Any one have this answer?

i am going to do charlotte, knokville and charleston this year. itll be the first power tour for me

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply and including me!

ET Camaro Show
 

East Tennessee Camaro Club is having a Camaro / Firebird car show June 7th, at the same location that the Power Tour will be located. So, if you are not lucky enough to be in the Tour, come join us on the 7th and see the Tour roll in on the 8th. More info: http://www.etcamaroclub.com/car-show---2014.html

Sorry, thought we had posted up about the room.....back a page or two maybe?

As far as the movie night, Hot Rod sent out an email last week and I assuming it was to everyone who has pre-registered. You might want to check with Family Events if you haven't received a confirmation email or any other type of communication and make sure you are registered.

Just registered for the Long Haul...so will be doing the whole tour.

my eleventh long haul this year, i plan on taking my yellow ss if i can get my kooks swapped to magnaflow on time or i will be in my yellow c6 z06 again, and will be parked with magnaflow as usual

Ok finally got around to getting my last hotel room (Ohio), so I am set .

As stated earlier, I am heading to Charlotte on Saturday, so between now and then if anyone wants to travel up with me post here.

Also, if anyone hears of extra things to do/see on the trip post that as well. See y'all in a few weeks

Think I remember meeting you last year. Didn't you trade out the car partway through the tour?

What I have heard of is:
Muscle Car museum in Sevierville, TN on the way to Knoxville
John Dillinger site - I think in Indiana
Antique Archeology in Iowa

Those all sound good.

So I'm new to doing the power tour. Still have yet to set up hotel rooms, though I'll do that over the next couple of days...I may try to use the ones listed earlier.

Do the cars generally stay together, or do you just make your own way to the next city. I prefer back roads to major highways, so I'm curious how much of that will be happening. Example...would the route take you over The Snake or The Dragons Tail?

I'm not looking to go fast...it's just I prefer to go the road less traveled.

The road less traveled, except for HRPT participants, is what we take. Very few major highways. There are usually small groups of cars together, some take other detours along the way, leave a different times, but you end up at some of the same gas stations, etc. There's a tour route, but you can change up whatever you want. Be sure to be at the venue to get your credentials stamped for the long hauler award if you're doing that. If you go to Bangshift.com you can get lots of info under the Hot Rod Power Tour thread.

I actually signed up the 80 bucks to register for what I thought was the full tour (including the Long Haul)...

So, I'm not sure if that means I do have to stick to a set route then?

What's really going to be weird is doing this tour in essentially a new car. I'm so used to my Google Maps and how I get from point to point with that. I'm hoping the Mylink navigation will do ok. The thing about the Audi Google Maps is I can set it to prefer to not take highways. Over the last year, I've seen some very cool back roads all across America because of that. We'll see how the Stingray does...I think it has other good qualities I'll like over my Audi :)

3rd tour this year...and a new ZL1 for the ride. back roads, and side trips with groups definitely make the whole thing my favorite annual event. I usually pick hotels out of town in the direction of the next stop...don't mind cruising at night and I find it helps with traffic to let the group get to where I am in the morning and then tag on.
3 weeks!!!!

That $80 is for the long haul, which gets you credentials for swag, etc. You don't have to stick to a set route, just get to the venue and clock in, then check out all the cool vendors, products, show cars, participant cars and make new friends. You'll meet some great people from all over the place that will become good friends.

For example, guns2go.............friend of mine!

If you have offset tires, which would you bring? I had a flat on the way to Texas last year. Got to the dealer early in the morning and they picked one up for me in a neighboring town and put it on. Expensive, but you gotta pay to play..........:doh:
