We'll be doing the Long Haul

It's an absolute blast even if you do just a couple of stops :driving:

 

 

How does it work? I assume there is a car show at every stop. Or is that just on the weekend stops?Does everyone jump in their car after the show and drive to the next stop? I might do the first weekend or a little more. I just don't want to sit around at car shows 7 days in a row if that's all it is.

You'll be in a different city/town each night. Each morning you'll leave for the next town (can you say road trip :driving: ) They meet @ the previous night's venue and leave from there after the daily driver's meeting where they'll update any road conditions,construction delays, closures etc. Going to the driver meetings adds a lot of waiting time to get out on the road each day, but you'll be traveling with a large group of hot rodders :drool:

 

You can strike out on your own as you'll have directions provided to each stop. They use a lot of US/state highways rather than interstates. This will get you to the next town earlier and watch everybody as they arrive or allow you more time to sightsee along the way if you so desire. I recommend going to at least the first driver's meeting so you can get an idea of what's going on and traveling with a large group of like minded individuals. Lots of photo opportunities.

 

The car show is the end of the day. Then you can hang out in the parking lots until the wee hours of the morning...or until the beer runs out. Get up and do it again

The distance between stops is usually about 200-300 miles. It makes for a pretty full day each day

 

Hope I answered your questions well enough. :cheers:

saw a show on tv from the 04 power rod tour with christopher titus. Looked fun as hell, just wished they swung up this yonder. Looks like we will have to have another Black Mass....
