Hot Rod Power Tour 2026 is in the books!
I completed my 3rd Long Haul(2nd in the Bullnose).
5 1/2 days, 1668 miles, that makes for the longest long haul I’ve made. I’m really proud of this old truck and what we’ve been able to do with an old 300 Six and a 3 on the tree. We didn’t have any major problems. We had some minor starter heat soaking issues, an idle issue early on, and we ran out of gas(it happens). With Tim , along for the ride, we had a great time cruising with , , , and throughout the week. It was awesome to meet up with so many friends of FFC Podcast. We did a lot of memory making this week. It was a good time and we are definitely blessed.
Get that old junk running and driving and hit the tour next year. You won’t regret it.

What a day! Didn’t go like I would have expected. I rolled out with and had problems from the first time we stopped. The starter is wanting to heat soak. So when the motor gets hot it cranks extremely slow or not at all. Had to jump it about 4 times. But that didn’t kill the day. The traffic in the small towns was bad. Getting into the venue took an hour. Dealt with worse before but still wasn’t ideal. We got there late and then came the rain. Although it was a somewhat aggravating day, spending time with my family on Route 66 was awesome. I didn’t get a picture but we topped it off with frying hamburgers on his camp stove in the parking lot of the hotel. Thanks Eddie for dinner! Can’t wait for Day 3! (My sister-in-law too some great pics of our cars. I didn’t get them. So, I’ll post them tomorrow)

Hot Rod Power Tour / Day 1: What a great day just to catch up with friends and car guys we haven’t seen for a while. We have our friend riding shotgun. We hung out with our friends at the Holley Tent during a down pour. Unfortunately I’m horrible at getting pictures with people. We’ll catch up with them again. We hadn’t seen for a couple years. It was good to catch up and see his sweet truck Brownie. Didn’t get to talk with them but got to Check out the van. And we got to see who we met a couple of years ago a Holley Ford Fest. He was driving the sweet Ford F350 Forestry Truck with a Godzilla. At the end of the day I met up with my brothers and and our friend and got some killer pics at the Old Joliet Prison. It was a great day 1. See you guys tomorrow!

She doesn’t like the camera, so I’m sneaking this one in here. Don’t tell her. 😁 Today we celebrate 27 years of marriage. We’ve successfully raised three boys, the youngest just graduating and turning 18. We’ve been through a lot together. Many ups and downs. The Lord always saw us through. Although I’m bald, my beard is white, and I’m a little more plump than the day I asked her to marry me, I can still look in her beautiful eyes and see that young girl that was madly in love with me then, still crazy about me now. I’m a blessed man! Far more than I deserve. Happy Anniversary Baby!
