I'm doing the long haul. We'll be rolling into Davenport very late in the evening though so we'll miss the festivities.

What's the special car, Mr. 64?

I'm starting in Arlington (I'm bummed about missing CB04) and am going to Springfield, Mo in my red on red 66 Convertible. Please look me up.

I don't know why everyone has to schedule big events on the same weekend that conflict my interests!

HR Power Tour
Chevellebration
AmericaCruise
Republic of Texas Bike Ralley
Dallas Swap Meet

All on the same weekend! graemlins/clonk.gif I had to pick one event, so I did. I did the Power Tour last year in my 60 El Camino and had a hell of a time. (El Camino is in June issue of Hot Rod) Even stopped in Louisiana , had a heart attack and surgury. But I finished the Tour after escaping from the Hospital in Lake Charles! Made it back to the Ballpark for my Long Hauler award! I vowed to return to make up for what little I missed last year.

What does it take to get a car entered into the show during the Davenport stop? I would be interested in doing so if I knew what is involved. Thanks...

They'll be a sign up for every event. The main caravan will arrive in the afternoon and you should be able to sign up before noon. I think. After that, it's simple. Park your ride and ENJOY!

Dave, are you talking about This Chevelle? (http://www.hotautoweb.com/64chevelle300.html) If so, MAN! I can't wait to see it!

Mr64, That's one sweet ride. graemlins/thumbsup.gif However I hope you're going to change that master cylinder to a dual reservoir unit in the near future. Maybe even some discs up front? Safety First!

Way to go! I despise trailered cars. Be carefull! My buddy is trapped in a carwash in Dallas right now trying to stay out of tornados and softball sized hail. We built his car together from a bare shell and he's driving in from Daytona Beach right now. If you see storms on the way out here, Call me and I'll update you on bad weather as it's forcasted as isolated storms for the next few days.

is it really 60 bucks to bring your car and put it in the show?????? Or is that just to get into the festivities later on? What gives?

Hey, the Tour route directions state: from St. Louis up 67 to Milan, Il. then get on 280 and go into IA. You CAN NOT get on 280 at Milan, IL. The interchange is under construction and the ramps have been torn out!! Maybe someone here has connection with the Tour people to give them heads up.

I believe it's $20 for a single event.
