My Corvair Power Tour 2014

Post by DAVECS1 »

Man I had a great Power Tour this year. Me and my buddies made it the whole way! And it went pretty well even with the over abundance of cars. Rex Glover and his dad, my dad, Allen Pumklin, and Chris Dolan. Did the whole thing from NC to Wi

Knoxville stop over on the way down

Rolling through the Smokey Mountains was a blast
Image
Knoxville was a great stop, we got to park in the grass
Image
Next was Charleston, and they gave up on parking and let us have the bridge!
Image
Norwalk Ohio was a bust, drove all day and got to make one pass at the dragstrip
Image
We were all beat
Image
The next day we huffed it on the Ohio Turnpike to get to Crown point on time
Image
In the QC, an old high school friend got us rock star parking, and I made my own scenic route down rt6 that picked up a whole host of participants that read my post on hotrod.com, it was a cool day for sure.

Last day at the Dells we parked on the concourse man

Here my car getting its coverage shot for the MAG :-)

Here it is back in the drive, 3078 awsome miles and she held in there like a trooper. I have a newfound respect for this little car. She was not ready to call it quits in a barn. This ol girl is a runner, and I am proud to have her in my stable. It led packs of thunderous muscle cars more than a few times. And held it own in the mountains when others were dying on the side of the road from the torturous elevations coupled with traffic jams
