Power Tour 2026

Yeah, I guess the route/what venue it is plays a big role too. I heard lots of horror stories from Charlotte and Atlanta Motor Speedway. I'd say most people are still positive about it but I do hear more and more grumbling as time goes on. One of these days I'll try it myself to see first hand how it is. My dad's getting older so I'm running out of time, gotta get some AC in the truck and then do it

Not part of "Power Tour 2026" but similar since it's related to the 100th Anniversary of Route 66.

Derek Bieri from Vice Grip Garage is the one that motivated me to find and save a squarebody. It's a pretty long video and unfortunately the ending isn't what he'd hoped for. You can scroll forward to around the 1hr 10min mark when he explains what happened.

Apologies in advance for hijacking the original thread.

I ran all of '24. I traveled with a guy that had been doing the tour for many years. He didn't complain about it at all, but he did mention a couple times how it used to be much nicer, just due to the smaller croud. My wife and I though, we absolutely loved it. We had our 1 year old son with us too. A couple venues weren't very well prepared (Bowling Green and Nashville, iirc) but it was still a great trip. Great enough that we immediately planned to run '25 as well.

And then we ran '25 as well and had just as much fun (other than a mild breakdown on the hottest day). Not only did we have our 2 year old with us, but also our 3 month old twins. Getting into all the venues was easy last year.

We were really looking forward to going this year too. It sucks that we couldn't.
