I'm ready, can't wait this will be my 4th tour in a row. How many C3's owners have the trust in there baby?? They won't melt in the rain. I hope to see a lot of C3's Starts in Detroit and ends Dallas. My power tour is getting to the start and home from the finish. I live in south Florida. If you do go and you see me. stop by and say hello.

HRPT is definitely a bucket list thing for me, since I have neither the time off, nor the money to do it. I'd sure love to go though, so have some fun for me!

I feel pretty confident my 76 would make it. Not confident my back and other body parts would survive. But, that being said, enjoy and be safe.

Steve, my boy, I and you toured the fire station museum in Mobile, AL a couple of HRPT's ago. This year, we'll be jumping in at Champaign, IL and doing the rest of the HRPT stops down to Arlington, TX. Hope to see you at one of the venues this year.

I'm in for long hauler. Going to Milwaukee and taking the Lake Express Ferry to Muskegan, then to Detroit. My son and 5 other family members are joining this year. Hope to see all of you on the tour.

Just got the windows tinted for this trip.

If I was a jealous man...

I've wanted to run this tour for years and if God willing and the creek don't rise, one day I can join up. Have fun and once again, I will live vicariously through the C3'ers who will represent our series of cars.
