2019 Hot Rod Power Tour
« on: January 15, 2019, 04:41:37 PM »
The Hot Rod Power Tour is headed to Sparta, Ky; Indianapolis, IN; Fort Wayne, IN; and ends up in Norwalk, OH. Seems like a great opportunity for a midwestern 65GS get together(s).

The dates are June 11,12,13 and 14 respectively. Time to start planning.

https://www.hotrod.com/events/power-tour/ As a warning, hotel rooms sell out fast.

It appears that the route ‘may’ go from Fort Wayne to Norwalk via Defiance.

Dan, we are planning on going those days. Will keep you posted. For those who have never driven on the Power Tour, it is an event you should try to do. Great people and great cars makes for a great time! The Power Tour is a Wow, like traveling back in time.

I'd love to be part of it too.  Not often it's this close to home.

Jim and I are planning on meeting the tour in Indy and then going to Fort Wayne. May head home from Fort Wayne - it’s uncertain at this time. Have reservations at the Best Western Luxbury Inn. Based on when Loren and I went in 2017 motels get sold out fast.

Maybe we could have a get together in Fort Wayne June 13 or 14.

In Indianapolis we have reservations at the Best Western Plus Atrea Inn & Suites. Not sure if there are any rooms left there or not. It’s about 17 miles south of Lucas Oil Raceway just off I-70.

Yes, our plan is to stay in Edinburgh, IN and catch on with the tour for their drive to Indy. We are staying at the Best Western in Edinburgh the night of June 11.
