Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

Well we decided to go a little early and visit Epcot. When I got into Florida a State Trooper started following me. He pulled up beside and motioned for me to pull over. I pulled off the Interstate and he pulled up behind. I said I knew I wasn't speeding and he said he wouldn't have cared if I was, he just wanted to see my car! We talked for a half hour!
Anyway, spent today at Disney's Epcot.

That's great that you got to go early and see Epcot, if you see Minnie tell her to quit calling me...

I hope the trooper gave you a 'get out of jail free' card while you talked....
Are you attending the early morning showing at the space center, I hear for a fee you can drive into one of the space station hangers and be a close as they'll let visitors to the shuttle.

I guess I'll have to say it again, 'there's always next year...'

Yes we do (for a fee) get to drive our cars into the Shuttle launch area. The trooper would probably not give me a ticket but I don't know about the other troopers.
We are at Port Canaveral now. Having a great time! Wish you here!

one of my favorite things is just about everywhere we go we take over (hot rods).
This was the parking lot at Slow and Low BBQ last night for dinner.

Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

I caught some of the cars coming through Franklin TN (civil war battle area),
Mad Max Aussie (Cortina?):

GT500

Nice Fairlane

This was kinda cool, my shutter didn't open all the way and I caught this peekaboo flaming chicken

I then got a text from FordRule Joey that Craig was already at the stadium, time to head home, change into shorts and hit the stadium

Sorry I missed you Jon! That first car is a AMC Hornet. I passed him on the hi-way today.
This young lady wanted to have her picture by my car at Nashville.

couple pix from the road trip

Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

here are some pix from the Kennedy space center, we were allowed to drive thru where civilians had been before. We were told NOT to get out of our cars no matter what. If we broke down, just stay in the car. It was kinda interesting considering the Shuttle program is almost over.
They did let Hot Rod take photos

Re: 2011 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

I was able to sneek a peak at one of the new space suits
