Hot Rod Power Tour Pre-Party

[csx289]

For those that are interested , I am having a pre-Power Tour party at my shop, which is approximately 3 miles from the host hotel and appoximately 8 miles from Miller Park.

Still working out the details , but it will be Friday afternoon, June 3rd. What I do know at this point is that Mike Guarise is honorary concours judge, Charley is in charge of all velcro shoes and turbo charged cars, and Gags is the parking attendant. We are having a BBQ buffet and live entertainment. Exactly what kind of entertainment will be a surprise - but I guarantee that Gags will have all of his clothes on.

I will need an accurate list of who is attending , so please reply to this thread and let me know you are coming.

For those of you shipping cars in for the tour, you are welcome to store them here until you arrive. Also, for those of you driving in that may need to make last minute repairs or need to clean your ride, I do have a full shop and facilities to help.

OK, let's have a show of hands!

...can I fly in with my Canadian sidekick and borrow the Shelby???..and I promise I wont let him smoke in it...have Velcro shoes will travel... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Bud.

[csx289]

ahhhhh, yeah, ummmm, no "borrowing" but I am sure there is a distinct possibility of rides and there always seems to be a burnout contest at some point also. Not endorsed in any way by me.

Don't let Charley see your shoes, he'll cut you out of them.

Colin

[sixtiesmuscle]

Sounds like fun Colin. If some of the Chicago group responds, is it possible for you to get a block of rooms for Friday night?

[csx289]

Yep- have a good hotel not far from here, much nicer than the Ghettt-oh! hotel Charley is staying in. Plenty of room for cars to stay in my shop overnight and I can run a shuttle for all you drunk bastards to get you safely to the hotel.

Why did Belair ask if the doghouse was taken?

[Belair62]

OK all you Chicago hoodlums....who is going to head up to Milwaukee with us ?? Lets get a crapload of people and drink all Colins berr,eat all his friggin BBQ and possibly partake in some of the local women !!!! Who is IN ??? Lets get the list going so Colin has to order way more food...

[Belair62]

HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF...no one going to Milwaukee ?? Post up if you are going to join us at Colins place.

[Charley Lillard]

They found out you were going....

[Belair62]

Yeah but they should be happy cuz I'm bringing a bat to tap on your head and they can watch AND eat and drink....

[csx289]

Hey Gags, is that why you asked if I had a ladder here? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[JoeG]

I think he meant Mister Happy's head.........Fore!!!--Golf, great game.....

[Born30YrsLate]

Where do I sign....comin' down from the north....I'll bring some Pabst....

[lzdick]

Atta-boy, Colin...I love parties. I am quite sure you can go "one-up" on the annual Car-B-Q in Barrington Hills! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Stefano]

Going to try and make it, sounds like fun.

[LVCamaro]

Colin; what's the nearest airport to your shop? We still have a bunch to do to get my 69 Chevelle ready in time for PT http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif, but I plan to drive it from Tommy's to your party on that Friday morning.

[Belair62]

Probably Mitchell....

[Mr70]

Steve,I thought you were kidding. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

[LVCamaro]

LOL...we still have 2 weeks.

[csx289]

Mitchell International is the major airport in Milw., and the closest - about 8 miles south. Very simple to get from there to my place. Call or email if you need any help or directions. The party is late in the day Friday, so they will have extra time to get your car done http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Colin

[csx289]

As we get closer to the PT and the pre-party, some details:

-THE PARTY IS RSVP ONLY!-

-(just in case) THE PARTY IS RSVP ONLY!-

-Meaning: To make sure I don't feed half of Milwaukee, we are only letting people and cars in that we know are coming!-

If you are not on "the list", you will not get in THE GATE. I will not be there, instead, there will be a really big and really mean dude who just doesn't care. He can read (barely) and he will have a list of people that CAN get in.

This is not like a night club in NYC or LA, you do not have to show the bouncer something or do other "favors". It is much easier than that - YOU ONLY HAVE TO SEND ME AN EMAIL TO GET LISTED. Oh yeah, if you are reading this you are invited !

My email: [email protected]
Subject line should read: RSVP-PTPP

That's it! Trust me, you do not want to miss the party. There will be a lot of suprises, great food, great live music, etc...

If anybody needs a place to have their car shipped to prior to arriving in Milwaukee, I have a limited amount of room and am happy to help if I can.

O.k, if you can make it - send me an email!

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

Best regards,
Colin Comer

[csx289]

Oh yeah, an important aspect I forgot to mention:

The Pre-Party will start at 5:00 PM, Friday June 3rd.

It will end whenever Belair is sick of the abuse and leaves.

-Colin

[Mr70]

But he'll never leave. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And he multiplies..... http://www.yenko.net/attachments/139518-P1010008.JPG

[Belair62]

Just call me protozoa...Colin...correction...the party is over when I can no longer fill your cars with unleaded !!!I'm bringing an even bigger guy with a 65 Biscayne and he may eat your little bouncer !! And I'm making sure he hasn't eaten for 2 days.

[CamarosRus]

I'm joining the Power Tour in Springfield, IL and planning on continuing onto Indy and Nashville.....Toying with the idea of staying in Nashville for (country music) Fan-Fest and Chevelle-abration.......
Anybody interested in sharing one of my motels rooms....and or having there room to share please communicate.
In particular I dont have a room yet for June 5th in Springfield.........

Thanks, Chuck

[LVCamaro]

Thanks to Andrew & Tommy White of Aloha Automotive for putting the hurry up on getting my 69 Chevelle convertible ready in time for the HRPT long-haul tour. Several folks, including me, had doubts about it possibly being done before June 1st when it arrived at Aloha 5 weeks ago in boxes.

Also, thanks to another site sponsor D&R Classic Automotive for quick shipping a big bunch of 69 Yenko Camaro parts out to me in LV. Thanks to their huge parts inventory, prompt shipping and caring attitude...my orange Yenko Camaro will be ready for the summer show schedule.

We really do have a great bunch of site sponsors, although Colin is reaching a bit on the price of that silver Camaro and red Chevelle.

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif for all our sponsors http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

SS

[Mr70]

Anyone participating in the Power Tour should really checkout Chevell-Abration being held in Moss-Wright Park in Goodlettsville Tn.,a suburb outside of Nashville,June 9-11.
It really is a Good Family atmosphere show with Cooking & Cars to match.

[Chevy454]

Who all from this site is gonna check out the PT? I *hope* to be at the Nashville stop...

[Belair62]

Goin up to Colins with a bunch of friends from the site...and to the PT on Saturday in Milwaukee to check it out

[Xplantdad]

Bob...all of ya gotta take pics...ya know? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

Definitely..

[Charley Lillard]

Also, do a bit of this http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Charley Lillard]

I'll be there tomorrow night.....If you haven't seen power tour lately...last year there were over 2000 cars that made the whole trip. At each daily stop there are probably at least 1000 more cars that show up...pretty diverse group of cars...

[Xplantdad]

Charley..it's a bit too far for me at this time...why does the tour only go though the midwest and south...not fair for us left coasters...!

Oh well...have a blast in that WAY bitchin' Camaro! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Charley Lillard]

they plan on a different route each year with the next years starting where they left off the year before. Next year will probably start in Florida...Someday it will get back out west but really I like seeing parts of the country that I have never seen before.

I hear ya! There's not much of the United States that I haven't already seen...I think that the movie Vacation was patterned after my dad...hell, he drove for 2 hours out of his way...so that we could go and see the "Corn Palace" in Mitchell, South Dakota.

I've been in every state except Hawaii...and the only reason my dad didn't take us there was...you couldn't drive there! All kidding aside, it was a great experience to see the whole United States! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

ALL who are going on the tour...have a blast! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Born30YrsLate]

Showin' up Friday pm...told Colin I would bring the Pabst...how many of you guys drink that?...as far as I knew it was myself and Bob G.

[Canucklehead]

Just chocked that im going to miss it yet again, i've been trying to get to it for the last 4 yrs, just can't seem to clear my plate enough to get out there, something always comes up that stops me. Maybe next year, have fun you all wish i could join you!!

[Belair62]

I can hardly finish 1 Fred !

[Chevy454]

That's funny, I can't hardly *start* one, Bob! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

For those of you who don't like PBR, Sprecher Brewery, Milwaukee's best micro brew, is bringing a few barrels of their signature amber beer - pretty good stuff. Will go great with the BBQ!

Colin

[Born30YrsLate]

Hey...they make that flying monkey root beer too...don't they...GOOD stuff!

[Belair62]

[Born30YrsLate]

Colin's place is SUPER awesome...if you love muscle cars and everything that goes along with it (old auto signs and memorabilia) you gotta see this place!
There was a guy there that looked familiar, maybe some one recognized him...he seemed to never leave the food table and was mumbling "twin turbo...twin turbo 440 6-pack..."

[Born30YrsLate]

And lucky me look at my new car...I won the raffle that Colin had which was sponsored by Sandlin Lumber Company...this car even makes me look good http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
