Left EnglishTown this morning at 6:50 EST and pulled into the Driveway at 6:03 CST..........Overview of the week....Again "Great Weather"(a few sprinkles while driving).....Great Venues (No traffic problems).....Great Routes and Scenery........Met a lot of Neat people.....The Chevelle didn't miss a beat....and with the New Alumitech Radiator Assy.......the Temp Gauge never moved (AC, Traffic at Disney, etc)didn't matter.....no cooling issues
I do have to say that Charley and "The Mule" are somewhat of a "Legend"(well deserved) with the Power Tour crowd, to have a car like that and drive it all the way is way off the "Cool Meter" chart.......
There was one nasty accident involving a Power Tour car (El Camino) where a local made a left turn in front of the Camino which resulted in a head on collision.....nobody was hurt seriously but the El Camino appeared to be totaled
Will I do it again next year.............You Betcha........Anyhow.....heres the starting pic from Orlando and the finishing picture in the driveway with the bugs all over and dirty

Margaritaville in Orlando


Just as we got home



By the way "Happy Anniversary" to Shirley and Charley

Wow Ken...THANKS! I really enjoyed the pics and the running commentaryhopefully one of these days I'll be able to go on the Power Tour.

Has the Tour ever come towards the West Coast?

[Mr. Duece]

Welcome home Ken! Sounds like you had a great trip. Can't wait to hear all the details.

By the way, great job with the pics.

It seems that next years Power Tour will start on the East coast (not Englishtown) as it conflicts with NHRA next year and finish in the SouthWest somewhere.....
