I would love to add that memory to the many I have had in the car.QuoteI doubt I will be doing any of the tour, gotta save the vacation time for family stuff, BUT I could probly make it out to the Indy stop I fully understand. I wasn't even planning on doing the tour this year but when I saw the route and told the wife about it, she was like "you've gotta go". If you decide to go, let me know! Quote Selected

Hot Rod Power Tour 2011 Reply #10 – November 04, 2010, 06:18:20 PM Thanks for the heads up on the Tour stops!I will be hitting at least the last two stops (I grew up in Muskegon), but may be available to do a couple of the earlier stops too. Just have to get the dates worked into my calendar.I planned to do some pretty extensive upgrades on the car this winter, but for the first time in more years than I care to admit, I won't have a space to work on it. The good news is: the long awaited garage addition is finally under way! My decades of suffering a pre-1925 garage should be over in a few months. It won't be the garagemahal, but it will be a great improvement. Anyway, something dramatic would have to happen not to see me on the Tour! Quote Selected

We will have to meet up in Muskegon. I'm getting ready to book rooms...you know of any good hotels? Quote Selected

I'm getting ready to book rooms...you know of any good hotels?Unfortunately I don't have a specific recommendation, I typically stay with family on my vists there. If you would like to be very close to the downtown venue, there are only a few choices and they are probably a little more expensive. The good news is: Muskegon is not very big. As a general rule of thumb it takes 15 minutes to get anywhere. The greatest number of accomodations will probably be that far away.That area is HUGE gear head territory, expect people to be coming from all over the west side and northern part of the state to involved in the event!Something not to be missed for those of you going there is Pere Marquett Park. It is one of the top 10 inland lake beaches. It's a nice cruise from Down Town and there is lot going on down there in the summer. Quote Selected
