Hanging out with Power Tour people at the hotels is another highlight. I met a guy from Virginia who was on the Tour with a 1966 Corvette that he has owned since 1973. It has 4:56 gears and the original 4 speed! That is hard core, but he did the whole route. You also get a chance to drag race and autocross as well as free dyno testing. My kids got autographs from John and Courtney Force and in the past have seen Richard Petty, Ken Lingenfelter, Vic Edelbrock and others. Definitely a must try for any car guy in my opinion. |

No offense but it seems to me there should be some kind of incentive to participate? The time involved/gas expenses/driving long distances/time off from work/etc ... Somebody is making money be it the advertisers or whomever? Don't read me wrong I'm all for having fun with group rides but there still must be incentives. Personally, I would not drive long distances in a group or parade situation unless everyone was benefiting ... just my two cents.

What car event or show pays its participants? This is like the ultimate vacation if you're are car guy. Not everyone needs to go to the beach or go on an ocean cruise. I hope to do it some year. Incentive is the participants entertainment. |

2) Parts Broken/Replaced: $1,000 -/+ 3) Extra Mileage Increase: Decrease Value of Car: $3-5,000 4) Time off from Job: $______ ? ----------------------------------- $10,000 (plus or minus) That is a lot of green and time but hey whatever if you guys have fun. To put this into perspective for $10,000 I could fly to Cozumel with my buds and have a one week Tarpon Fishing Trip. Last edited by Liquidity; 06-22-2017 at 07:59 AM. |

A little jealous maybe? Damn. Well, I'm single and proud because you could not pay me to be married today, because marriage and kids are overrated not to mention these days it does not pay to be married. I don't even drink but nice try bro .... I guess you are trying to justify the Power Tour, and hey whatever if that is what makes you happy. In the meantime me and my $10k will fly to Elbow Cay for a ONE MONTH Fishing excursion with my Buds!
