  • Winnipeg to Kansas then Kansas to Tennessee. We flat towed this 1957 Chevy a LONG ways but we're finally here! As we kept closing in on the start of Hot Rod Power Tour the temperature kept picking up. Of course there is a heat wave the week of the tour!
    Southern hospitality is a real thing! Everyone down here has been great! After a day to re-charge we met up with David Newbern and Mike Cotton then headed into our first day of the tour. It was a LONG, HOT day but we met so many great people it was all worth it.
    If you've never been to Rod Rod Power Tour, pack your car and make it down next year!
    We finish off the day with some late night, parking lot fixes. Hopefully we'll be ready for tomorrows drive.

    Danny, as far as the heat goes... just remind yourself that in 5 months it will be minus 30, the snow banks will be four feet high and you will be freezing you nutz to the porch again... those thoughts always work for me haha

    At 1:23; you remarked about the "cheap" fuel prices versus Canada, but we (in the U.S.) complain, not realizing that fuel prices in England and Europe are about $10.00 usd a gallon so it could be worse here or in Canada. ;-)

      I think it’s all relative. I have gas vehicles and it’s $4.99 everywhere here in Upstate NY and I have a Diesel and that is $5.99 - 6.49 a gallon. So relatively speaking: Gas is cheap!
