He's easy to spot. Tall, gray hair, kinda distinguished, (in a goofy sort of way), and has this unique deer-in-the-headlight smile.

Picked up Charley and Shirley at the Airport and went to the local Quaker Steak and Lube for a local car show....Mark brought Charley's car over and Charley got to drive it for the first time.........we went in to eat and the service was so slow that when we came out everyone was gone.....so.....No pic's to speak of.........

Cool Rainy day in Madison.......Scardino weather....Even with the Sammy weather, there was hardly an empty parking spot.....the place was "Packed"....(must be the poor economy)........they were calling for a lousy day tomorrow earlier in the day, now things are looking up for a decent day in Racine....It's 4:30 now and it's starting to clear up.....Here are a bunch of Pic's from today....

My Son joined us today with the Chevelle, he's gonna do the Long Haul with it.....I'm driving the Biscayne back to Racine and staying at home that night, then I'm switching to the Yellow 66 Nova for the rest of the Trip....... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif The new camera is pretty neat....But, it's simpler/more complicated than the old one.....After 4 years I just had the other one figured out....now I have to be Trained all over again.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Very nice Ken! So you are going to go home and get the "Numbers Guy" nova to continue the trip? Keep the pictures coming. Hopefully NO rain for your trip. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Yep!!...............Numbers Guy for the rest of the Trip (Yellow Nova)......The Biscayne ran perfectly and without trouble....the only issue is the the Autozone (China made) throwout bearing is starting to "Chatter"......should have kept the old GM one in there.......Charley is having an intermittent Headlight issue...Scott's Camaro and the Chevelle are trouble free.....Walking out the door for the trip to South Bend

The red/white stripe Killer '69 with an LS7 belongs to Scott the owner of Lateral-g.net.

What an incredible event. It far exceeded my expectations.

Old friends, new friends and a bunch of cool cars, simply awesome.

Well, Clill made to South Bend o.k. I talked to him at the fair grounds and he didn't have any problems, but another in his group lost a control arm bolt and had to do a roadside repair with the help of a borrowed floor jack and some loctite to be sure the bolt wouldn't come loose again.

I haven't seen so many people at the fairgrounds since the early 60's when the 4-H Fair was in full swing. And this is on a week day when everybody is suposed to be working !!

Nice weather so far too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

Here's a Pic of the Nova just before leaving...

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/kwhizz/DSC00233.jpg

As we were driving...Scott noticed that his car didn't feel right and pulled over,,,,,the lower control arm bolt came out and collapsed the front end....lucky he was stopped and not at Speed....A local Car guy came along that lived in the area and provided everything needed to repair it,, we were back on the road in 30 minutes....Pretty Cool..

There was a pretty bad Traffic Jam on I-75 south today that some got stuck in for 1-1 1/2 hrs....we got into it and just Stopped, but we were able to squeeze over to the right shoulder and got off, found a parallel road and were back on the highway in 15 minutes.....Dodged a Bullet.....Dave and Amy from ARS had a slight mishap when the Hood on the Nova blew open at Speed.......Darn...
Tomorrow Somerset,Kentucky.........

WOW Thanks for the pics. After seeing that beige Boxy 65 Fairlane I'm thinking somebody needs to Hot Rod one of them. They are cool ( Lunchbox Styling ! ) in some kinda way but I'd do it to a Hardtop Sport Coupe.

Great pics Ken. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I was there and only managed to catch up to Charlie for just a minute right after you guys got there. Unfortunately I wasn't able to meet anyone else as I couldn't step away for any length of time--I went to help George ("Ohio" George Montgomery) with his set-up and to watch over his memorabilia while he was off doing several interviews.

Sorry I wasn't able to say "hi" to anyone else. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Rain, Rain........Left this morning from Dayton after the Thunder Boomers went thru...the actual drive to Somerset wasn't bad at all, But....just as we got to the Venue, the Rain started again...we had to park quite a distance from the main area so in the Scramble to get there after parking in the Rain....I forgot my camera in the car...so,...no pic's from the park....after a hour rainstorm the sky cleared and the Sun came out and turned out to be a very nice afternoon (what was left of it).....here are some pic's from the drive today...

Another one under the belt.....All in All....it was a great "Journey"......we had Cold and Wind.....Rain....Clouds...Sunshine, Heat and a Cool Breeze......there wasn't any traffic jam's except for one that we managed to by-pass very quickly......the Venues were easy in.....easy out and sized correctly for the volume of cars except for maybe Somerset.......we stayed at Hampton Inn's along the way and everything was above average at each location......Except for Scott's minor repair issue with his car, there weren't any mechanical issues with any of the cars in our group.......Every day was a new adventure along the way.....the scenery in the south is also fantastic....Family Events that runs the Power Tour has routes planned out that are Scenic, yet flow the traffic volume very well......
The only problem with the Power Tour is that it's relatively early in the year and we get "Spoiled" with the enormity of the event and everything that go's along with it......Anyhow.....Met lot's of new people and made some new friends along the way......got to go for a ride in a certain un-named persons new car and was an "Unwilling" participant in a unauthorized display of unlawful acceleration on a Public roadway.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif....My Son Chris that came with for the first time and drove the Chevelle now understands why we play with these "Old Junk Cars".....LOL.........All in All.....It's a Must Do thing.....
Anyhow......the #'s Car averaged around 18 MPG with it's 195 HP...Charley got sucked up into the Vortex on the Highway one day when I "Opened Up" both barrels... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif But, more importantly......the Nova did what cars are meant to do.......Be Driven.......Here are some pic's when we got home, it's covered in Bug's and Dirty from rain and I'll spent today cleaning it, But......That's why God invented Soap.....Again.....If you can ever make it happen to Participate, you won't be Sorry....

Again Ken, Thank You for all the photos and daily reports. My neighbor rolled in at 11:45 PM Saturday from Bristol and called me at 7:30 Sunday morning to come over and hear about the trip. He's hooked on PT too. Who knows; maybe next year I'll venture out with another old #s Nova and see if we can match your MPG. (The reason I asked is, ....... it looks like I'm pulling down 20-21 with the 307/PG combo. Just wondered if that was really possible. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif)

Glad to hear you all had a safe, fun trip. Good friends, cool cars, beautiful scenery, enjoying it with family,........... and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Once again the Power Tour was a blast. Towns you wouldn't think of going to on vacation are part of what makes it special. Madison Wi, Racine Wi, South Bend Indiana, Mt Clemens Mi,Dayton Ohio, Somerset Kentucky and Bristol Tennessee. It's not just about the drive and places you go. It's about all the people you meet. You leave your hotel at maybe 8:00am and head down the road. We used to go back to the previous days venue and do the driver meeting but there is really no need. You get to the next venue in early afternoon. Cars driving the entire trip are over 1000 and locals etc at each venue add another couple thousand. So you are probably at a car show each day with at least 3000 cars. You leave the show at maybe 5:00 pm and find your hotel, go eat dinner somewhere and then come back and hang out in the hotel parking lot. Summer evenings in the parking lots are great. If the hotels are close together you usually end up seeing plenty of people sitting in lawn chairs at the curb egging hot rodders on. One town that won't be named even had a law enforcement officer egging me on so me and Kwhizz did nice burnout in front of the crowd in my Camaro. I pulled back into the parking lot to get a pic of me and the cop car and the cop car went zooming out of the parking lot. He had told the crowd he was not going to be seen with me and was leaving before I got back. I'm from Ca. That could never happen out west. My car would have been impounded etc. I parked my Camaro with Jim, Forrest and the rest of the gang in the Mothers display. They were a great bunch. I did my first pass down the dragstrip in my new car against Jim from Mothers in his really cool 572" ElCamino. We were neck and neck down the track with me edging him by running a 12.66@119 against his 12.77@112. Weather was cold -hot-damp- wet etc. All part of the adventure. I will post some pics but you can also see some good stuff at the Mothers site. Mothers (http://www.powertour.net/index.html)

Car ran great. Had a issue with the heater not working once in awhile that we think is the servo motor that opens and closes the hot water valve being over powered by the flow of water so it wouldn't open. These LS engine flow alot of water. I remember seeing to odometer turning over 1000 miles but don't remember checking it again. Car is headed to Detroit for the Motor States Challenge shootout this weekend at Gingerman Raceway. Now I get to see how it works on a road race track.

Charley,
Did you take the JA around the track at Bristol? One of my friends took his car. He said they told everyone to stay behind the 'Pace Car', but it pulled off after one lap. He hit 70 MPH on the back stretch and exited turn four VERY close to the wall. Scared as H#ll, but all grins. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nope. I figured they were laps at like 25 mph and by the time I heard they were letting you go faster they were sold out.
