Here is a link to the 2006 Hot Rod Power Tour. The area will be updated daily as long as I have a decent internet connection at the next hotel. There will be more pictures of cars and people but today was limited by a weak camera battery.

I have only seen 6 current GTOs on the Tour and met only four of the owners. The great thing about the Tour is everyone is welcome and treated well no matter what they drive. Everyone, including the sixty something widow doing the Tour with he late husband's Chevy truck are 'Car Guys'.

It is so relaxed we even let a GTO park next to us with Eibachs and Konis -- I didn't talk to them.:gr_jest:

If any one is on the Tour and reading this it would be great to hook up and park as a group. My Cell is 616.292.4424

Great shots Peter.
Some unfortunate circumstances made us late (3:30) and they wouldn't let me park in the compound. Tomorrow will be different though! I'm going to stop by Big Daddy's tomorrow. Don't know If I'll go to SuperChips.
I have a short video of the GMPP LS7 GTO. I'll see If I can get if downloaded and hosted tomorrow night.

Any chance you brought along some of the elusive Pedder's radius rod bushings? It would be worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to Columbia on Tuesday.

Wow , all the really nice cars. Just got back from visiting the HRPT site here in Gainesville- way way cool. Lots of gorgeous specimens , my favorite trick cars were the yellow:hail: LS7 GTO ; the SuperMetallic Orange Solstice ; the orange Viper Cuda and the killer Silver Concept Camero - always had a large crowd. If they make it , it should sell well from the comments I was hearing (actually saw this 20ish woman screaming with joy when she saw it). Great to see all the different ages of spectators and participates and all the vendors pushing our addictions. The Japanese and Mideast kids can only wish they had the hotrod heritage of the USA.atriot: If you can make any of these stops - it's worth the sunburn and the time - over 60 years of automotive history on display. The roads to/from the site/track are filled with muscle cars (takes me back 35 years) - not street racing just crusing : sweeet... Thanks for the pics Pete , Sorry I missed ya at Nimnicht , hope it went well and enjoy the trip up the east coast. ..

Had a great time Pete!
Good to meet you ,
We have to do the dinner/drinks again next year.
You should have stuck around a "bit",,we ended up taking the party
back to the hotel parking lot concluding with burnouts and freindly cops at 2.30am.

Hey HTRDLCN thanks for inviting me. In Perry I spent some time with the Camaro group at Hooters. I do have some NO Bull stickers in my car. Give me a call in SC and I'll get the to you.

Perry Georgia is now up on the site. Good Night!

Good to meet you too, and thanks. Err..almost operational. The a/c is broke, which was not fun today. But I can live with that. At least the car runs without it. Had a great time today and looking forward to finishing out the tour with y'all.

 

[JusticePete]

The Georgia pictures are posted. If your GTO isn't posted all you have to do is say hello at the next stop.

 

[nikivee]

I will at Harrisburg tommorow with my 67 GTO. Hope to see some of you there.

 

[HTRDLNCN]

Done,,also gave them your cell.
Have fun!!
