Ok guys I am making the offical Power Tour thread! I can more or less be the contact guy for the WI/IL area. I AM taking my Marauder on the first leg of the Power Tour which is Madison, WI to Racine, WI. It is the 6th/7th of June. They leave Sunday morning the 7th and drive to Racine.
My Plan: Meet up with others in Waukesha in Sunday morning Early,6am.
Drive to Madison and meet up with the Power Tour.
Drive the tour and end at Racine Sunday night.
Do dinner somewhere and enjoy beverages.
If you do only 1 leg its cheaper to get a pass that day, its $25. If you go on more legs its cheaper to get the full pass. I can only do one leg so I am going to Madison Saturday to buy it and see the car show.

If there is people interested in going together in the Marauders post here and we can have a list, I will pick a meeting spot near I/94.

MEETING SPOT:
I thought it would be easy to get to. Leave Sunday morning at 6am, from the park and ride on I-94 and County Highway G/Meadowbrook Rd. near Pewaukee. The lot is on the North side of I-94. Look for the Marauders. I will try to be the first one there so you can see it.

I'll meet up with you all in Madison. It's nice to see some MMs representin' this year. Last year there was only one MM at the Madison stop.

I have hotels and will be participating from South Bend to Dayton (8th, 9th and 10th). Not sure what I will be driving though. If the 69 Impala is ready and the weather looks OK I will take that. Second choice is the 93 Cobra. Third Choice is the Marauder, Forth choice is the 91 LSC, Oh you get the idea I AM going to make it with something. Why hasn't anyone from Motor City Marauders spoke up? Looking forward to a large turnout in Michigan!

Coming up soon, who is still in...

My rear end still looks to be in good shape, so I should still be in, although I haven't registered online for anything. As long as my spider gears don't start to snap, crackle and pop, I'm game.

I have to bail out on the Power Tour. My girlfriend is taking me to Vegas and everything is paid for. Hopefully next year. Chris, I would get your gears fixed or turn down the WOT shift pressure in your tune!

The weather is saying 40% rain, not going to be much fun...

xopher
06-03-2009, 09:36 AM
Yeah, I wasn't happy about that, but I think the drive and Racine lakefront will be cool even if we get a few showers. I was gonna detail Saturday, but I'm just gonna hit the touchless wash, spray was, and bring a water blade.

Im still in. I will get it all cleaned up Saturday. Then it will surely rain :P

I finished cleaning mine today. You know it will rain for sure. 40% chance just became 100%.

Hey, Fairlane. Do we need to get the pass Saturday or are they available Sunday morning also? I'm not sure I can get out to Madison on Saturday. I've never gone to a power tour event so I'm not real sure on the process.

You can get a ticket at any stop for $25.00.

I had an awesome time today guys. Thanks for letting me ride along. Once we got to Racine they made me pull off to the side and register. From there I lost everyone. I think I saw MCats car parked in the show. But I never found anyone else. I hung around in the show for maybe 2 hours then my lack of sleep caught up with me. Hope to see everyone in Elkhorn.

+1. It was a great time, but I'm exhasted. Glad we had the MM.net showing we got, despite the weather, etc. I started a thread (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?p=768443) for people posting pics or telling stories about this leg or other legs. Thanks fairlane347 for getting the bug in our butts! See everyone in the other thread and in Elkhorn!

e: but this would have been helpful :rolleyes:
