2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities **(added pix and vids)**

2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

I'm starting to get in that mind- set, to do the whole thing. I know Craig and Tara are planning on it.
 
Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

we are already making plans for next year and we haven't even got home from this year yet!
today we went to the GM proving grounds and the rain held off. We got to drive our own cars on parts of the different tracks. There was a guy in a new Boss 302 that was messing around and they escorted him out of the facility! I did lay some Ford rubber though!
We didn't get out of there until about 2pm. We stopped tonight just South of Indy and will finish the drive home tomorrow.
The car has performed well in the heat and the rain. The only issue is that it's starting to pull to the left when I put on the brakes. Might have a caliper going bad. We had one stretch where we got 18mpg! We have gone almost 3,000 miles to this point and only spent about $700 on gas running premium.

Only long haulers were allowed in and they said never had such a large group been in the proving grounds. They flew a plane over all of us standing by our cars for the long hauler picture.

Thanks for the pictures Craig, looks like it was a nice finish of a week of fun car stuff. I really like the guy that got escorted out, Go Ford Guy, he may have been the guy, Friday at the stage,that wouldn't answer the Chevy guy's question about Chevy engine's, all he'd answer was about Ford Engine's.
Have a Safe drive the rest of the way home.
 
Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

made it home today. A little over 3,000 miles, a little over $900 in gas, a little sun burnt, tired but the car did fine and it was a lot of fun. I can't wait for next year! I hope we have a few StangFixer's on the 2011 tour too!
It does look like my alignment get knocked out during the road trip. By the time I got home it was pulling to the left and the front tires are chewed up. I jacked it up and didn't see any obvious problem. Nothing feels loose. I don't know what happened but I did hit some massive pot holes in Indy so maybe bent something.
Anyway, all in all it was a great trip.

Great to hear you made it home safe and sound. :yah Hopfully a couple days of rest.
Thanks for all the posts and pictures.
 
Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

your welcome, thanks for the hospitality!
Unfortunately I am off to Minnesota for work this week and back to Saudi next week.
 
Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

Craig, do you have the stock LCA eccentrics? Maybe they moved on one or both sides? Even one side moving would cause wear on both tires I would think.
Back to Saudi huh? Don't forget your ninja suit, who you gonna get this time?

yep, stock LCA eccentrics. That's what I'm hoping happened. looks like the camber is off too but for sure the toe is OUT! ruined both front tires, bummer. I hope the suspension isn't bent. I hit some pot holes and rough roads. Visually everything looks okay and nothing wiggles or moves.

yeah, back to Saudi, yuck. I'm sure there are plenty of nuts over there I could just take out whom ever gets on my nerves!
