I'd really like to do this, at some point. As in the whole thing. I don't know about the work schedule, but I might be able to make the last stop at Norwalk.

I did it last year an it was definitely a good time. Super cool to cruise down the road with a ton of other hot rods. I wish I could make it this year but with starting a business I don't have the time or the money anymore lol.

If your going to do it make sure your cooling system is functioning at 110%. Theres a ton of traffic at certain places on the routes and especially getting in or out of the venues. Don't be in a hurry an just enjoy the sights and all the cool cars. Its something every car guy should do at least once imo.

I went last year in my 66 Galaxie only on the last two legs. It was great!! I'm not gonna be able to make it to any of the stops this year. Maybe the next time it goes through NC I'll be ready!

Several years ago the route went through my town! My Dad and I parked ourselves in a church parking lot right by an intersection. Amazing choice as we got to hear every car accelerate! Just past the intersection the road had a nice downhill that allowed you to see quite far down the road. Soooo many of the cars dropped the hammer down that stretch! It was awesome! We had several groups pull in to the parking lot to take a break. A GTO pulled in and he needed a water pump. Had to break the news to him it was Sunday and no place I knew of was open. I know he made it to Muskegon as we saw him there when we wondered down there several hours later. Just having me experience as a "spectator", I can only imagine what it would be to drive it. I hope to do it next with my buddies and their '57 Chevy and '71 Chevelle, with my '85 SS.
