hot rod magazine power tour


JUNE, 2005
Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Kissimmee, Florida

Most of us believe getting to the destination is half the fun, and in the case of the Power Tour, that's definitely true!

While it rained almost all the way to Milwaukee, it was clear sailing on the trip back...until we got to Tallahassee.

And in between, we visited the Smokey Pig (twice!), met up with Jeff Giffen, Kevin and AJ Kraft, as well as some folks that we knew from previous Tour's, made some new friends, visited some great cities, saw a ton of really-nice cars, cruised with many of them, raced go-karts, cleaned our cars often, ate better than we needed to, and actually spent less than we planned!

The 2006 Tour begins June 3rd in Kissimmee, and travels up the East coast...we hope to see you there!
