[Charley Lillard]

I drove the same car last year and Ken was driving his stock Chevelle. It reminded me of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I'm flying along at 80plus and I look back and there is Ken. ..Flying along a little faster and there is Ken.. It was like The Posse chasing Paul Newman and Robert Redford. They would look back after hauling ass on their horses, see the posse and say "Who are those guys". Then I would slow down and look at Ken from my air conditiond car and see his windows down, cooking away. This year he has AC.

[Mr70]

Ken told me he likened it more towards the ending of "Dirty Mary,Crazy Larry".
If there was a train coming,Charley wouldn't care! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Left EnglishTown this morning at 6:50 EST and pulled into the Driveway at 6:03 CST..........Overview of the week....Again "Great Weather"(a few sprinkles while driving).....Great Venues (No traffic problems).....Great Routes and Scenery........Met a lot of Neat people.....The Chevelle didn't miss a beat....and with the New Alumitech Radiator Assy.......the Temp Gauge never moved (AC, Traffic at Disney, etc)didn't matter.....no cooling issues
I do have to say that Charley and "The Mule" are somewhat of a "Legend"(well deserved) with the Power Tour crowd, to have a car like that and drive it all the way is way off the "Cool Meter" chart.......
There was one nasty accident involving a Power Tour car (El Camino) where a local made a left turn in front of the Camino which resulted in a head on collision.....nobody was hurt seriously but the El Camino appeared to be totaled
Will I do it again next year.............You Betcha........Anyhow.....heres the starting pic from Orlando and the finishing picture in the driveway with the bugs all over and dirty

Wow Ken...THANKS! I really enjoyed the pics and the running commentaryhopefully one of these days I'll be able to go on the Power Tour.

Has the Tour ever come towards the West Coast? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Mr. Duece]

Welcome home Ken! Sounds like you had a great trip. Can't wait to hear all the details. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

By the way, great job with the pics. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[kwhizz]

It seems that next years Power Tour will start on the East coast (not Englishtown) as it conflicts with NHRA next year and finish in the SouthWest somewhere..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Even a "Trained" woman http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif couldn't deal with cooking for that many people........at the lunch stop in Ga.........they went thru 3-4000 Hot Dogs

Ken

Hope the Wisconsin stop is in Milwaukee again

[NapsterNova]

It would be cool to stop at Route 66 Dragway in Joliet, IL. My neighborhood isn't big enough to handle that many cars though. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[jfkheat]

Someone mentioned that the Wisconsin stop might be in Racine. I doubt Racine could handle that many visitors at one time but it is close to a drag strip.

I can not believe they would consider going through Chicago again to get to Wisconsin.

I was trying to 'sneak' that by you http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

For those that have been on previous power tours I am interested to know how the number of cars compared to previous years. I have heard figures like 5,000 to 8,000 cars come on tour. I just wondered if fuel costs lowered the overall numbers. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Thanks for the pictures.

[Charley Lillard]

I think last year was about 2000 cars that went the whole way. This year seemed like less.

You guys came through my part of the country this year, what did you guys think about the route through NC? Charley probably was going so fast he didn't even see anything! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

The Georgia, S.C., N.C., Virginia, Pennsylvania area is some of the most Scenic parts of the country I have ever been too.........we were in awe of the beauty.......the Power Tour people did a great job in the route selection
