HOT ROD Power tour thread

[sstony]

lets see who's planning on doing this. there has been talk of a few of us going so we need to start planning cuz its 3 weekends away. i might have the hook up on a place to stay in orlando and in g-ville, but i don't know just how many(if any at all-including me) will be able to be accomodated also.

i'm planning on going atleast up until Perry, GA--the third stop. and i plan on doing this as cheaply as possible--places to stay and a cooler of food and drinks.

please don't clutter this thread if you have no plans on going.

[Duck]

I am doing the entire trip with my pops in his '50 Merc (one stop is 25 min from home in PA). Tyler and I are driving down to Kissimmee probably Saturday night.

[BreBar21]

Fuck. I really wanted to do at least the FL leg, but I'm on my vacation from my vaction through the 5th or 6th. Have fun and take a ton of pics, guys.

[Mr_Bond]

yeah man--our little caravan has turned into me and brandon driving--fatkid and towlie riding. not sure if i'm even going up to Perry now. i might just end it at the SGMP stop--esp if they will be doing more racing. but promise me that we will make plans to do the long haul next year.


anyone else doing this--Bond, Duck, Tyler??

[towelie]

I dont think chris is going or he told me last night he wasnt going to make it.

[TylerGT]

Me and Duck arent leaving Tally untill like 8:30 Sat night because he has to run his ghey foot race. I will probably only do Orlando to Gvile then come back Sunday night.

[fatkid]

Im tryin, but I cant take friday off and cant take monday off. Brandon threw out the idea of me driving to gainesville friday afternoon/night and catchin up with him there then to orlando, end up in gainesville again sunday and then I would just ride home.

[SloNLo_350]

I'm going as well with Jared riding shotgun. I just gotta work on a plaec to stay ... I'm on that right now actually.

CHASE--hit me up--i got the hook up in orlando and possilby in g-ville too


edit: brandon has the hook up in g-ville and i think thats as far as we go besides the sgmp track stop on monday for the possibiltiy of racing.

when are yall leaving?? i think we are headed down there friday afternoon. so lets cruise there if possible.

[DustnF]

I hate all of you.

sshater ftw :sstony:

[SloNLo_350]

Ouch!! Thats harsh!! Poor Dustin. His will be faster before mine is I'm sure. But mine will always be cooler :mrgreen: .

But anyway, Tony, if you can talk to your friend and ask him if it'd be ok if Jared and I stayed there I'd really appreciate it, but I'm still gonna write down some hotels' numbers just in case. According to Hotels.com there are alot of openings for this weekend.

[4348rd]

will saturday ever get here

[sstony]

I need a weather report for this weekend. it looks like rain but i wanna know if it stretches to central florida.


drag radials + rain = very slow speeds on hwy for me and even slower speeds for brandon

[TylerGT]

NOAA says Tstrms Likely for Tally but only Change Tstrms for Orlando.....whatever. its gonna rain because God hates convertibles.

[Patrick]

I'll be there. Got to love calling work at 9am and getting out of the entire weekend. :mrgreen: :beer: :beer:

Although my parents and boss think I'm headed to a funeral...oh well.
