Average speed on Power Tour

[stu yoakam]

My GPS said something similar. I figured it got air mailed or something. I got it used on ebay.(tomtom) I now use a Garmin that has lifetime updates and tells you what lane to be in.

Average speed? LOL!!! Depends on the day. A Ohio State Trooper said I was doing 81 one day (he caught me on decel so I couldn't argue with him). Perry and I broke the century mark on a back road until a big slow down hit going thru a town. Interstate days it never touched 80 but the shadow on the speedo needle did. Last year my son drove on his drivers permit and the rest of the group were mindful of that. But, for the OP, just leave in enough time to make it to the venue by 6pm. If not, double stamp the next day. It's all good.

Tattle tale!! It was a good way past the century mark when the Brembo's went into whoa mode! Didn't you get a love letter also in West Virginia right after Black Jack shamed those new 2014 Vette's?

Well following Dave ant that big of a problem, it's getting up in the morning and leaving when he does! If he he say's 9am he means 8:50! He be gone!
The first year I did it we ran 80-90 some days. Then other's we ran 60-70. It all depends on who, where and when! No matter the speed it's all fun. You want regret it no matter what you drive.

No, that was in Ohio in '14. That was a great road but yep, we had to throw out the anchor unexpectedly. Kind of missed that small town celebration over the last couple years. It was almost like most towns didn't care of didn't know we were coming thru.

This will be my first Power Tour this year. My brother and I will be long hauling a 72 Bronco with an original dog tired 302 and 4:11 gears. So for us it's the "No Power" Tour.
It doesn't overheat (normally ) so slow speeds should not be a problem. More concerned about many miles of high winding with various potential leaky spots...

If you get up and leave when the rest of the tour leaves and drive how ever is comfortable for you and your ride, you will always find drivers to run with no matter what your speed. You won't be the only one running low gears.

Your 4.11 gears are going to put a major buzz on the old 302, but as I said drive how ever meets your situation. Good Luck!

Testing loading a pic

It's not hard, just have to know where the pic is on your computer. Not all formats are compatible, and a larger picture is better. Might be a limit on size though. Not sure. I would hate to buy a new camera just because the bleeping memory cards are obsolete and you can't get the pictures onto the computer. Actually the card reader isn't functioning for some reason?

Andy, I moved your pic to the 2017 HRPT Pics thread.
