Finally, my dad and I start a dream that began around 10 years ago, after seeing some ads about the Tour.
After years of school schedules blocking us from going, we’re finally able to attend.
The tour goes from Madison, Wisconsin to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We’re also utilizing this trip to bring my Cobra from Minnesota to my new home in Texas.
I’m extremely excited to be embarking on this journey, and I’ll do my best to post about the destinations each night, hopefully with accompanying pictures.

June 6 - Alliant Energy Center
1919 Alliant Energy Center Way
Madison, Wisconsin USA

I might stop by at the one in Champaign. I heard it was a ton of fun, sadly I can’t join for the full trip. If you can, while in Champaign, do yourself a favor and eat at black dog bbq. It’s hands down some of the best bbq ever* in the state of Illinois..

Post up many many pictures. I hope to go in a few years when the 64 is finally finished. A week long road trip always seems awesome.

We’ll be hitting the first leg! Signed up with the Monte Carlo but then Travis was waffling on it and we’re taking the Camaro instead.

Also try Dos Reale if you want Mexican. Probably the best in Champaign-Urbana

Extremely jealous that you’re not only doing the power tour but doing it with your dad. I hope you have a great week and I will be looking forward to those daily updates.

Do enjoy! We ran it last year in my Evo. Lots of fun. I posted up some things here if you are interested.
Enjoy the trip, eat some good food and be sure to wave at every kid who waves at you. That’s building new Jalops a little bit at a time!

I second Black Dog, It is real good!
Good luck getting a seat though, maybe since it’s summer it won’t be so bad, but I wouldn’t count on it.

I have always wanted to do the Power Tour ever since I learned about it in HRM in the late ‘90s. BUT the Power Tour has been making me sad since ‘01. Back in ‘00 it was cross country and had a stop in my home town Albuquerque, it was amazing the city shut down all of the downtown area for it and it was a great big party. Now every Power tour since has been in the midwest and south and its a bummer for us west and southwest folks since its a HUGE drive just to get to the start. I wish they would do the ‘90s format where there was a Power tour west and east.
