We did the Nashville, Birmingham and Tally stops only. We decided to head back after Tally due to the weather

FWIW, the 7 was received well by the muscle car crowd. I had several people wanting to buy the car on the spot

Wow, I went to the one in Hot Rod Tour in B'ham, but it was kind of late and a lot of people were already leaving. Wish I could have seen your car, like to see the swap.

Yeah we got soaked (and damn near struck by lightning) during the storm and packed our stuff up at about 7.

Yeah I got there a hair over 7. The the event was bigger than I expected, even though I went late.

I would like to do the tour next year, what do people at every stop and is there anything special at the last stop?

Not sure if the last stop was any different than the earlier stops. The event is basically just a big cruise-in with lots of sponsors. Good clean fun, cool people, beer and lots of impressive big HP engines.

Are you sure it wasn't personality?
