Anyone in the Southeast area going to do the Hot Rod Power Tour 2018?

Schedule:
Saturday, June 9: Bowling Green, KY @ Beech Bend Raceway Park
Sunday, June 10: Chattanooga, TN — Location pending
Monday, June 11: Birmingham, AL @ Hoover metropolitan Stadium
Tuesday, June 12: Hampton, GA @ Atlanta Motor Speedway
Wednesday, June 13: Darlington, SC @ Darlington Raceway
Thursday, June 14: Raleigh, NC — Location pending
Friday, June 15: Concord, NC @ zMax Dragway (Charlotte Motor Speedway)

I've always wanted to "Long Haul" it and because I live in Columbia SC this might be my best chance to do that. If I don't Long Haul I will at least do the last 3 days.

Thank you. Looks like it will pass near Atlanta and stop at Atlanta Speedway.

Will definitely make this one.

It has been on my "Bucket List" to do the long-haul and this year is the year for me. Hope to see you out there for the long-haul.

My plan is to try to do the Long Haul, but if that is not possible I will hook up with the tour on Interstate 20 as they pass thru Columbia SC on the way to Darlington SC and do the last 3 days.

Did the longhaul 14-15-16...most of the haul 17. We'll be doing the longhaul again this year. Going up Friday from Atlanta.

I will be in Bowling Green Saturday morning to start the Powertour and pick up multi day credentials. I’m headed back to Texas after Birmingham, AL.
I can’t wait to head eastbound.

A heads up-

We are headed up tomorrow from Atlanta to Bowling Green-

At the same time - the Bonnaroo "Festival" (Supposedly 80,000 in ticket sales-held Thursday- Sunday) in Manchester TN on I-24 between Chattanooga and Nashville.

I think it was '14 we got stuck coming back. Traffic was a mess.

We are planning a drive around tomorrow- just in case.

IF you do go through- I'd make sure you have a full tank.

Although I was not able to make the tour this year yesterday morning I stopped at a Shell station in Columbia and talked to a group of Long Haulers. Great guys who looked like they were having the time of their life. After that parked my patrol car on I-20 East and watched some great looking cars go by. No I was not running radar.
