(Photos by Mike Brooks) Mike was originally just going to show up for one or two stops on Power Tour this year and ended up staying for more because he was having such a good time. He’s got a rad square body C10 that was Caddy powered for many years, but after breaking it one too many times he decided to step up and get himself a brand spankin new crate engine from Blueprint Engines and is loving it. If you haven’t been on Hot Rod’s Power Tour, it is the ultimate traveling car show and has been a staple in the hot rodding community for decades. We’ve done it a jillion times and love the event, and so will you if you decide to go next year. We’ve got five galleries of photos from Mike, and as always can’t thank him enough for sending them in. Today is the first one and we’ll give you the rest through the next week.

Here’s what Mike had to say when he emailed us saying he had photos to share.

Finally got my truck back on Power Tour this year. We only planned on hitting the first 3 stops and did so without issue. The truck and it’s new blueprint small block performed flawlessly as I put on 1100 miles from the time I pulled out of my garage until I put it back. We hit Norwalk, Dayton, and Indy as well as a little after party at Graham Rahal performance.
