Hot Rod Power Tour 2007
The Great Adventure!
June 2007 and the car has a new name - Beulah! This nick name was bestowed by our friends Chris and Tammy Ritter from Little Rock Arkansas who completed the tour with us in their 1974 Super Duty 455 Trans Am.
Beulah now wears this 'Badge of Merit' for completing the "Long Haul" , which means running the complete Power Tour from one end to the other. The trip was 3326 miles in total as we had to travel 400 miles to the starting point and 1300 miles home from the finish.
The route: Cleveland OH, Kalamazoo MI, Racine WI,
Springfield IL, Evansville IN, Memphis TN, & Little Rock AR.
7 cities in 7 states in 7 days

Beulah ran flawlessly - some times at a good rate of speed
- like when she was hanging with these "Shoeboxes"
