I plan on joining the 2009 Hot Rod Power Tour this year following the All-Ford Nationals in Carlisle.
The tour starts in Madison, WI and ends in Bristol, TN. The following are the planned venues...
Saturday, June 6
Madison, WI
Alliant Energy Center
Sunday, June 7
Racine, WI
Downtown Lakefront
Monday, June 8
South Bend, IN
St. Joseph County Fairgrounds
Tuesday, June 9
Warren, MI (Detroit)
General Motors Technical Center
Wednesday, June 10
Dayton, OH
University of Dayton Arena
Thursday, June 11
Somerset, KY
The Center for Rural Development
Friday, June 12
Bristol, TN
Bristol Motor Speedway
Saturday, June 13
Bristol, TN
Bristol Motor Speedway (Long Hauler Awards)
I hope to join the tour in Warren, MI for the last three legs - Warren-MI to Dayton-OH, Dayton-OH to Somerset-KY and Somerset-KY to Bristol-TN. I know a lot of the midwest members would be close to the route, so it would be nice to see a bunch of Lincoln Mark VIII's (or whatever 'hot rod' you own) join in for some of the fun and festivities.
If you're even remotely interested, I suggest reserving your rooms NOW as they are filling fast. For the record, the reservations I have made...

You can always cancel should you opt out, but waiting much longer will prove difficult to get any rooms, particularly ones close to the venues.
I'm looking forward to a fantastic vacation and hope to see some of you along the way!
