    I enjoyed the route last year but not excited about more midwest farm land this year. We are planning a couple of days.

        We are going to run the route from Concord to KY Speedway, spend the night in Florence and make a loop through PA, MD, DE and VA. Sharon has never been to PA an DE, they are on her bucket list. If we go to a venue, we will park with the spectators. We have been to Indy and Norwalk. For the last several years we have not spent any time at the venues, punch our cards, get the magnets and head for the hotel.

          That's all we do. We've heard the commercials.

              Hot Rod Power Tour went downhill when Michelle Turzyn stopped being involved in the planning of it.

                I don't know. The drives the last few years have been better then before in my opinion.

                  I guess they do the best they can. Green Bay, Springfield, IL and Mobile were pretty bad several years ago.

                    How long ago was Green Bay. I've been doing it since 2007 and don't remember ever going there.

                      2004 - rumor had it that there was some kind of conflict and they started towing cars

                        That’s right. Lambeau Field double booked us along with some religious group, it was a mess.

                            I wonder how things will go for first-time venue Martinsville Speedway in first-time town Martinsville, Virginia ?

                              They're used to big crowds but we'll see.
