Re: Man what a blast......something everyone should do once

To give anyone that hasnt done this......here is a small perspective of the awesomeness of cruising with a massive pack of cars (on average there were 2000 cars going from stop to stop every day, some in the organized main group but others in their own groups) these pics are of the drivers meeting at the Iowa speedway in Newton minutes before rolling out onto I-80 to start the first driving day of the Power Tour

This is our 4th tour and by the time we got home 5 days later (we didnt do the whole thing, came home after Bowling Green) the car had logged over 1500 miles on the trip....... saw a bunch of third gens on the tour also.

Re: Man what a blast......something everyone should do once

Well the car is finally a little more streetable since it has a nitrous converter in it, so maybe I'll leave it be for next season and as long as nothing breaks I could probably swing it. These new nitrous converters sure do drive around nicely since they're so tight at part throttle.
