BobT-47P15 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 On the 10 o'clock news tonight they mentioned a group of hot rods would be coming thru Joplin today (Wed).....writing this after midnight. So, I looked up the Hot Rod Power Tour, and sure enough.....that's who it is. On Wed, they begin their day in Madison, IL and end at the Buffalo Run casino in Miami, OK. It looks like they will get onto our 7th Street at the E edge of town and motor across the city to Schifferdecker Ave, then south about 5 miles to I44, then aboout 26 miles to Miami. Should be here during the afternoon sometime as they go thru St Louis using some smaller roads to miss the rush hour traffic, then it's about 4 to 4 1/2 hours on to Joplin....or longer, depending on stops. Before Joplin, they will pass thru the north edge of Carthage, MO. If I happen to have time, will try to see when they pass thru. The following day (Thurs), they will travel to Stillwater, OK. Fri, from Stillwater to Arlington, TX. I know many of the cars are "newer" but things like this are fun to watch nonetheless. Just passing this on in case anyone might be interested along the way. Here's a link to their pdf schedule/route page........................... http://image.hotrod.com/f/38388736/HRPT+2012+Driving+Directions+5_23.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Martin Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Went to madison yesterday. Hundreds of cars. They even raced on the drag strip. Great day no admission charge for spectators either, a miracle in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I remember when they came through our area many years ago..rather enjoyed the afternoon walk about the group of cars and chatting a bit with a few of the owners..matter of fact that was the last time I saw a AMC Rebel Machine they were a unique paint scheme for sure..

BobT-47P15 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 About 1:30 or so this afternoon, I saw a few of them coming down the street. Some were by themselves, others maybe 3 or 4 together. No big long parade. The cars ranged from late model Corvettes to a couple rods from the 30s. I have to play my music gig tonite, or I would go down to the casino at Miami, OK where they will be staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobT-47P15 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 You might check over on the HAMB.......some of the cars were things accepted there. Or, maybe the magazine now has some blog type posts from participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
