It looks like their selected hotels are filled. Two of us booked a few miles out at other hotels and didn't use their booking agent. I think the furthest out from the venue is about 10 miles.
That will also break up the caravan as many will need to pull out for fuel or a rest stop. I'll be dropping out every 150-180 miles. Maybe if I start at the front, I'll still be with them, trailing up the tail end.
This year's run is a bit far for me to make it! Hopefully in 2023 the Hot Rod Power Tour will be a bit further west and south. If that happens I plan to make the run. I have made two in the past and totally enjoyed it. I would highly recommend making the tour.
I did the Power Tour in 2005, 07 (partial), 2009, 2010, 2011 in various Fieros and 2015 in a Hyundai Tucson. Fun but it got quite expensive, crowded and I went with my Fiero buddy AC Dobson who passed in 2013.
If you were counting me in I am not out... To much else going on in June with Dells run and going to Carlisle from Chicago... With gas the way it is the wallet can't take another trip in June
I didn't know you were going and didn't include you in the count. I know what you mean about too much happening. Had to forgo the Carlisle GM Nationals this year to do the Power Tour.
The current number I know of is now at 4, though one may not be in a Fiero but is a Fiero person.
Looks like they just changed the start from the Memphis Motor Speedway to Liberty Park in Memphis. I was able to swap my hotel fast since my initial hotel was 46 miles from the new location.
I’ll be long hauling for anyone that wants to caravan Fiero’s together.

Jayson and I are at the Quality Inn, Austin Peavy Hwy. That moved the venue much closer to us. Just 17 minutes away. We booked there because the hotels close to the motor speedway booked up right away.
Jayson is long hauling. I don't know if he's still planning to drive the Z06 or the new 4.9 Formula. I'm sure we'll caravan with you. I'm only short hauling to Hoover.

Sounds good! My son and I are staying at the Courtyard on Nonconnah Blvd. We’ll get organized as we get closer to the event
I had developed a noise in my driveline after our RFTH 27 scouting run with some Porsches, so I opted to have a spare transmission installed and at the same time, put in a new clutch kit. During the extraction process, we dislocated some wiring for the recent 7730 swap. We have had a heck of a time trying to eliminate the trouble codes that keep coming up and changing. Because of this, I didn't feel that my 87 would be 100% reliable and I canceled my hotel reservations a little more than a week ago.
As of this moment, I know Joe Doctor from up your way in Corbin is still going, and Jayson McCall from the Georgia Fiero Club is still going. There is a possibility that some unnamed Georgia members might meet up with you guys in Nashville and drive down to Hoover, too. Jayson and Joe have been talking and are planning to caravan together for the long haul so they will be in Nashville and Hoover with you.
