This will be the 1st time I've missed HRPT since 2007!  Its soooo much fun and something I look forward to every summer.  The wife is expecting our 2nd child the same week so I am going to sit this one out (or be living in the garage the rest of my life, lol).

Talked to my friend that is doing the mill work for my instrument cluster and we are thinking about doing the Bettendorf to Dells, maybe starting in Crown Point if things work out.

For those planning only going for a day or two here is a link to the schedule and route info. I'll be at the Dells with my Bird. I'm not sure if I'm going to head towards the Sauk Prairie area and watch to just hang out at Chula Vista. Give me a shout if ya see me!
Oh, my buddy may have his black 84 up there as well. Looks similar to mine except for louder and bigger tires. LOL

Do we have to pre register for anything or can we simply show up and drive with the group to the next venue.  I am specifically thinking about taking the 13th off and joining the group in Bettendorf IA and driving to WI Dells.  I don't know if I'll stay the night or simply drive home.  It will only be about an 2 hour drive home.  But this does sound like  a good time.  I have never done anything like this before.

You can pretty much do what ever you'd like. If you see a group that you'd like to cruise with you can just jump in and follow along. I think that's one of the cool things about HRPT is that it's really what you make of it. There is a suggested route but you can do whatever you feel would be the most fun for you.

Some people take the route and stop at all the sights along the way. Others will bust ass to get to the next venue as quickly as possible.

Since I'm in Madison, I think I may cruise up that way late morning and look for a spot to chill  at Chula Vista while watching the cars roll in.

I am jealous of all who are going!  Power Tour is something I look forward to every summer!  Oh well I guess the birth of child #2 is more important, right?

I forgot about this until I got home last night. 15 min drive for me but it was 6:30 pm and it would've been pretty much over by the time I would've arrived there :mad:
