  • How long did Power Tour last for you this year?

    In other words, how close to home were you when you saw your last Power Tour vehicle?

    I think I may have the record: Dark Knight's Trans Am was seen multiple times on the ride back, lastly driving past my dad's house as we unpacked the car.

    I think that's 0.00001 miles from home. :D
    2003 Marauder (HRPT 2014, 2018)
    1962 C-10 (2019 HRPT - now sold)
    1991 Country Squire (2023 HRPT?)

    It was over pretty quick for me. I'm only +/- 100 miles from Charlotte. I followed behind Andy until my exit, so somewhere around 11:45PM friday night was my last PT car.

          We will do a starting line party, I usually do that on the first Saturday of Power Tour. It gives more people a chance to attend.

                  By the way, did you see the two deer standing right on the edge of I-85? I think it was around mile marker 90-ish in SC. Almost crapped my pants. They just stared at me.

                    Awesome. I don't plan to longhaul next year (vacation time issues) but I do plan to at least do sat/sun... maybe mon depending on how far from home they get. I won't have to leave so early this time!

                              Last PT car I saw was mid-day Saturday cruising West on I70 near Richmond, Indiana as I headed back to Wisc.
                              it was an old 40’s street rod with the 2018sticker in the back window.
