I just got home after 4 days of the Power Tour, working for Tremec and helping with their new display. This year it started in Little Rock, AR and then traveled through Missouri, then to Kansas, then Nebraska, then into Iowa, then Minnesota and finishes in Wisconsin on Friday. Even with the gas prices, there were still several long haulers making the entire trip. Hopefully, next year it’s somewhere other than the boring mid-west. Onto the pic’s… The new Tremec rig with vinyl wrap. ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/tremecRig.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/tremecRig.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/trailer_1.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/trailer_1.jpg) Arkansas has tons of abandoned buildings scattered along the roadside. I thought these gas pumps made for a good photo op. ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/gasStation.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/gasStation.jpg) Trinity Restoration trailered an Eleanor resto-mod to the event. It drew a ton of attention and made a nice addition to the Tremec display. ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorFrontDriver.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorFrontDriver.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorSide.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorSide.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorDriverBack.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorDriverBack.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorFront.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/eleanorFront.jpg) Go Baby Go! ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/goBabyGo.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/goBabyGo.jpg) I don’t follow F1 cars too closely, but I think this might have been one of Dancia Patrick’s cars? ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/formulaOne.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/formulaOne.jpg) Some sort of modified lawn tractor.

Replica of the Wagonqueen Family Truckster with LS2 swap. I ran into Rob Kinnan over the weekend and he said he’s doing an article in the Editors Choice section of an upcoming issue of Hot Rod. 😃 ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/TrucksterBack.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/TrucksterBack.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/TrucksterFront.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/TrucksterFront.jpg) Some random photo’s. ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/powerTourBus.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/powerTourBus.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/cuda.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/cuda.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/flames.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/flames.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/buggy.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/buggy.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/vetteZ06.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/vetteZ06.jpg) AMC Pacer with a small block Chevy. ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/tracer.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/tracer.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/gto.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/gto.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/camaroFrontDriver.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/camaroFrontDriver.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/camaro-1.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/camaro-1.jpg) ![http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/Orange1stGenCamaro.jpg](http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa281/mg_steele/Orange1stGenCamaro.jpg) ---

I did the long haul last year. Arkansas is a dump. Can you get some deals from Tramec? I need a spare T56. I love the Griswold wagon. ---

Events like this are usually contracted out except for one or two guys and they only sell their trannies through about 10 vendors. Transmissions can’t be bought direct. I still have a ton of photos to sort through. If I find any good ones, I’ll post it up. ---
