    Talked to one of the guys who drive HRPT vehicles and he says they are talking about limiting the number of entrants next year. Said due to large numbers and limited access to venues will weigh heavily, so if they do you better stay on top of BSFORUM!

      This was our last year!
      It used to be old guys driving old cars struggling to make it to the end. Now the new cars out number the old ones significantly which has taken a great deal of the challenge out of the event. Whatever they do - they will do it with out us! After 19 years - there are better options for my time and money.

      (BTW - thanks for coming out on Sunday!)

        Same for us. We skipped all the venues but one this year and didn't miss it one bit.

          We haven't gone since 2020, and all we miss is seeing our friends, the comraderie, and the parking lots. We're making up for those in other ways.

              With my ex-S.O. I did the long haul my times w/o A.C. The current wife wants AC., but she's getting tired of doing it so it might be my last also. The registration fee of $200 buck is too high. Limiting the numbers may make finding venues easier for the organizers, but few numbers would reduce revenue or jack the fee up even more. Might do Louisville by myself next year in one of my non-AC cars.

                  I haven’t gone, or been able to go since I did the ‘19 long haul. I was hoping to make the last 2-3 stops this year, but based on route, venue locations and hotel up-charges, decided not to. Looking at other events that won’t be so crazy busy. Only issue now is that most smaller tour events are during the school year when I’m working. I definitely miss hanging with the veteran Tourer’s of the BS crowd. Great bunch of people and fun to hangout and cruise with.
