Hotrod Power tour 2015?

Anyone planning on going to the 2015 Hotrod Power Tour? It starts in Madison, Wi. I'll be there (hopefully) with my 1991 Firebird Convertible.

Re: Hotrod Power tour 2015?

Just a FYI, I'm between the Champaign and STLouis stop (if you cut over to springfield IL and down I55)
I have a lift, tools and some spare parts (for v8 cars) if anyone may need them.

Not sure on the "official" route, but you're welcome to join us. PM me, or hot rod may have it on their website.

Re: Hotrod Power tour 2015?

We only went to the first stop, but we had a great time with perfect weather.
The autocross was fun to watch & there were as many cars as you had time to look at.
