  • What did you like/ went well

    Plenty of Threads complaining about things. What did you like? Personally the drive around Lake Lure made my Tour! That's what I want to do on the drive.

      Lure Lake was my favorite. And even though I hated the Charlestons and the Dells venues, I really enjoyed the towns. They were very scenic.

      Knoxville to Charleston was a beautiful drive up until I-64.

      leaving zmax on sun morning was cool .All you could see for miles and miles were the power tour cars.

    I liked most of the drives. We went through some beautiful country. Plus, I got to play with my friends for a week!

      Always like the drives and seeing the people. The shade at the park was nice and the scenic roads are great.

        The drives were good, I like the spirited driving! (though I believe that some people don't) Hotel Parking Lot gatherings were pretty fun also, kinda like a playground for adults, with the burnouts going on. The friends we have made over the years make the power tour.

          Pretty much everything until I got off of route 33 in Ohio was awesome! Loved the roads and meeting new people.

            It took all of about two days back at work to realize that I would rather be sitting in traffic for 2.5 hours with a towel on my head waiting to get into Chula Vista than sitting in my office starring at the piles of work, emails and voicemails I had waiting for me. The speeding ticket didn't really bother me. Just another expense to have fun and enjoy the road with my son and my friends.

                The fun of the tour to me is seeing the country with friends and people who have a love for automobiles no matter what brand they are!

                      The drives every day, except when I skipped the two lunch stops and drove interstate. Those drives were boring. The official routes were very scenic.

                      The racetrack venues certainly had their acts together.

                      The fairground in Crown Point was GREAT! Shady and pretty, with a great playground for my daughter.

                      Seeing all the great cars! Even as bad as the venue was in Charleston and Wisconsin Dells, the cars were a blast to see.

                      My little side trip to Taliesen to see the Frank Lloyd Wright school and center was very interesting.

                      The drive in movie in Knoxville was a lot of fun. My family really enjoyed it.

                        We liked pretty much everything except the traffic jams!! PT is like a huge family reunion! And every time we go, we make new friends!

                          Knoxville, Charleston, Bettendorf and Wisconsin Dells sucked!! Everything else was great, loved the drives. They promised something special this year, didn't see it.
