Power tour?!

[modern-muscle]

Hey guys, I was curious to know if any of you import guys have ever attended the power tour. The muscle and import worlds seem to be mixing more and more (especially in the 2 wheel world) and I was curious to know if any of you plan to or have attended the power tour. For those that dont know what im talken about you can find it here.

I'm guessing that most of the import people are doing the Import Alliance Tour. V-Taks and Wamp-pam-pams unite!

 

[modern-muscle]

This is the latest info I've seen for it.

Well I never knew that this caravan would attract so many people (even when I’m physically unable to make the journey

). I’m glad that so many people can come out and enjoy the festivities, as it’s an event that import enthusiasts should experience at least once.
Now, as before, below is the layout for the journey. If you would like to participate/join in, please let me know by posting here. I’ll keep a tab of how many people are showing at each checkpoint, so as not to lose anyone.

IA ‘10 will take place on July 17th and 18th, so we will set course the Friday before, aka. July 16th. As we arrive in Nashville we’ll part ways to our respective hotels/meeting points, so make sure you are planned ahead of time for the arrival into Nashville. The Nashville Super Speedway is roughly 15 miles South East of downtown Nashville, near Smyrna. So, mark your calenders, tattoo your wrist, and do whatever it takes to make sure you’re set to go this time around.

[NOTE: Make sure to look at the times closely. There is a time zone change mid-way through the journey.] (CST = -5 GMT during the Summer)

PLEASE NOTE: From the experience gained from IA ‘07, IA ‘08, and IA ‘09, I believe it is safe to assume that these times are fairly accurate (even when dealing with heavy construction). I know that not everyone will be able to pit stop at the same mileage, so feel free to drop off when necessary. I set it with 3 checkpoints for a reason. It gives a chance for those with more thirsty engines, a chance to catch breath and keep up. Feel free to throw in ideas that are worth noting, at me. I’m up for suggestion.

//////: MECHANICAL NOTE ://////
MAKE SURE TO PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TO YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE SETTING OFF ON THIS JOURNEY!
Accidents can happen, and being many miles from home can make things quite tricky. So best bet is to prepare for the journey as best as possible.

MATURITY NOTE: I know that this can be a long journey, but please try and maintain a more mature driving habit. Wreckless driving is illegal and can ruin the trip for everyone. “Driving it like you stole it” is not a mentality to have on a trip like this. There’s plenty of people here who spent intense amounts of time and money on their vehicles to have them ruined by someone trying to gain attention by showing off. Know the difference between “playful” and “idiotic”.

that could be cool.

Not too far of a trip there...
