A last look at the 2010 Power Tour includes stuff from day 1 to the end. The
bonspeed boys; Brad Fanshaw, Mark Cilani and Mark Grimes all agreed to do it again. No we can't mark this one off the bucket list, because then we couldn't come back next year!
Newton, Iowa at the Speedway it was day 1 and we had no idea what the trip would be like. It had already started right, lots of cars, good weather and the cars made it finally! This was the pre-tour briefing, you can see the guys from Hot Rod up on the trailer.
One of the best things about Power Tour was the gas station stops. Every stop was full of cars, different ones every time and lots of car crazy people to meet.
You see everything on Power Tour, even a 2069 Camaro?
Enthusiasm was fantastic for the tour every city opened up and they all came out to watch us cruise through town.
Highway Patrol...no Power Patrol. We saw this cool cruiser parked at the Mid-America Corvettes open house and never saw it again?
In Du Quoin, IL we saw this bad S-10 and this guy knows style. It sports the
bonspeed INTENSE wheels.
This bad Mopar had everyone watching from the radical roof graphics to the 10-71 blower it was crazy!

Ok, so a little work some air ride, 22" bonspeeds, big brakes. It could be ready for the 2011 Power Tour.
The old panels are just cool, but man tons of work to make them perfect!
Really, is this the best town name for the side of an old GMC Suburban Fire Department emergency van?

The plans changed for the bonspeed boys and instead of traveling on with the tour we skipped the Chatanooga, TN stop.
There are two things you do regularly on Power Tour other than drive you clean your car at every stop detailing the road grime off the car so everyone can admire. Here Mark Grimes is wiping down the wheels on his Corvette.
The other thing you do very frequently is stop for fuel, Mark Cilani is demonstrating proper fuel technique. Gas-up, run to the men's room and get a snack.
Speaking of snacks the Grimes Gang loves their snacks. Early morning Du Quoin and Damon and Royce are already enjoying snacks and energy drinks.
Damon and Royce spent the trip in this slammed Pontiac GTO.
It does happen on Power Tour, cars break down. The good thing is that others are always willing to lend a hand and most get back on the road in short order.
The weather was top down perfect and we saw many a car drive past loaded with sun worshiping car guys.
Matt Grimes drove his slammed black on black on black Audi. That little car really screams.
Driving Power Tour might just be the best way to see America!
