Ryan,

I'm a part of a group of about 12 cars that I will be a part of.  I would like to meet up with the Mopowered group though to meet everyone.   Shooting for Wednesday in Indy.

If you sign up and send a text capable phone number in.  You will get Text updates to where we are so you can follow us and know where we are parked.  I will also have a GPS signal on my phone for tracking.

[1970Moparmann]

Will do.   Hopefully the rain God's will hit the pause button for the Tour.

Just got back from the tour.   What a blast.   A ton of laughs and met a bunch of great people.   

Next year, it'll start in Detroit and end in Dallas.   This will be my first long haul - can't wait!

Ryan, tried to find you and the car in Indy, Muskegan and Detroit - no luck....

Awesome pic's!!   While in Muskegon you got three pic's of my "slime green" superbee. THANKS!! 

We had a great time as we drove down from Manistee to see the tour.  Only thing is, we should'a been driving around more because there were cars EVERYWHERE    I bet we only saw a quarter of them.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

It was an absolute blast.  Too bad we couldn't have met up.  It isn't every day you see one of these!
