Hot Rod Power Tour 2024

Day 3 for us was a wild one. Really the whole trip since Sunday has been a wild one. @Mopar Tim and I were partnering to do the tour, his 66 dart messed up its new transmission in bowling green on Sunday, bonsai run back to Indiana to grab his truck and trailer, towed his car from Bowling Green to Nashville, got parked in Nashville and he got kicked out for having a trailer. So that left me and my 8 yr old son to convoy as we could the rest of it.

Left Lebanon this am at 730, got to Louisville about 3pm local time. Helped a couple hot rods that ran out of gas on the route. Then my jeep, plan C mind you, sensor came lose and put me into limp mode. Fixed that. Then A Road Runner blew up on 65 south of Louisville, just half a mile later, C5 gets knocked into the fence in front of us.

But we’re still on for tomorrow and Friday come hell or high water

Wow, and I thought I had it bad! The front left brakes started hanging up between Bowling Green and Nashville Thankfully O'Reilly's has a warehouse store in Lebanon 11 miles from my crappy hotel. I did a warehouse pickup on some 9" front shoes and a wheel cylinder 1/2 hour before closing time. Grabbed some odds and ends, like a cheap bleeder kit etc from the store front. Swapped them out in my hotel parking lot, with the help of my teen and tween sons. They were loving it, saying it was just like Roadkill! I was not as enthusiastic. Went good from Lebanon to Louisville. I'm going to avoid much of the Interstate on legs 3 and 4. 65 was kind of nuts with all the weekday trucks and traffic.
