Anyone going to Springfeild Il for Power Tour?

[turbosam6]

We are going to try to make it Sunday, going to Bloomington and following them down to Springfield Il. Hope it doesn't rain! I'm gonna take my 2002 Camaro, hope to see some TR's there! Yes, I'm a hypocrite for not taking my GN, but I would like to get back unassisted by a trailer or tow truck. Plus the Z has T tops! We'll see how my new MT drag radials fare on a couple hundred mile trip.

I know one of my customers is going to be doing the whole tour so you should see at least one Turbo Regal there.

I'll be going from Rockford to Springfield in my red Blazer ZR2. Look for a power 6 sticker on the back window.

I'll be with the tour from Milwakee to Indiana! I will be riding in my buddy's red 70 Chevelle SS 396. Has 17" Torque Thrust, newly built 402, Art Carr 200 4r. Nice car, just broke in the am yesturday!! I would take the GN but it doesnt like rock chips!

Unless the weather goes to crap, I plan to meet the Tour in Springfield then go to Effingham before returning St. Louis. Planned on going to Indy and Nashville but too busy at work. Took the same GN to BG and got about 23 mpg. Gotta like it!

Well if you guys see me make sure to stop and say hi! I'll be in this, but it will be on big n' littles:

I'm going up to Milwaukee on Friiday and going to Nashville before turning around. I just bought some new windshield wipers because I think the old ones were dry-rotted. Not in the rain much. I'll be with a few buddies, one in a 69 chevelle, one in a 55 chevy, and two guys in a big black Dodge Cummins diesel (support vehicle). The GN looked good on a trailer in back of the Dodge on the way to the dragstrip last weekend. See ya on the tour.

The T didn't get finished in time. Have you ever been on the power tour? There are lots of people in pick-em-up trucks like me, who don't have a finished project.

I'm also going to the show in Springfield no matter what, so I'd be taking the same route anyways.

I'm going to Milwakee, Springfield and Indy. But in the 67' Nova this year.

Well guys, I hate to say it but it looks like we are going to experience bad weather the whole time from Milwaukee to Indi. I just checked the latest weahter report and it doesnt look to great. Lets all pray for a miracle!! Either way, Im looking forward to meeting you guys on the tour!! -----Jeremy

 

[jdpolzin]

Nice to meet you guys at the Tour!! Its cool being able to put a face with your names!! ---Jeremy

Just got back from the Birmingham meet. Nice to see a few TR's out. Some local, some riding the tour.

Sam, give me a call when you get near bloomington and I might be able to head down with ya in the T Hopefully it doesn't turn crappy and rain on us!

I had a great time. Nice meeting you, jdpolzin.

Hey "Not Avg 6" , you have a very nice car!! What did you end up running at Indy?? It seemed like the heat was slowing down everybodies cars. After looking at your car, if you weren't worried about rock chips, I shouldn't have been worried either!! Very nice paint job!! Dfefinately nicer than mine! I thought it was ironic that I have the same KMC wheels on my truck!! ----Jeremy

It was definitely HOT in Indy somewhere in the lower 90's. I changed my suspension / combo earlier this year and forgot. Left the tree like I had last year's setup. Red lit and my 60 foot sucked.
I still ended with 117 mph with 93 and a little 110 in the tank on a street tune. Did'nt run anymore not wanting to kill my car in the heat coupled with the long line in staging.
