Just saw a moblil home with a nice 67 chevelle go thru town headed east. Scenic route, Hwy 30. I believe it is starting this coming weekend in Detroit. Michigan - Illinois - Oklahoma- Texas. Dark red with a blower.

Yes, They will be coming through our area next Thur. Some of us are going to set along the Hi-way and watch. Wishing we were going along.

I'll have the track roadster down there on Sunday. Probably at the Harley store.

I had planned to make the Tour since they are coming very close to my home. Unfortuneatly, work decided I needed to be in DC for the week. You guys and gals have some fun for me!

I plan to be at the Buffalo Run Casino (near Miami, OK) next week, when the tour arrives.

Does anybody know what route they will follow into Muskegon - I-96 all the way from Detroit, or do they take secondary roads towards the end? What time will they start arriving?

Last year when leaving Muskegon to go to Detroit the route was as follows. Apple/M-46 to M-37 to I-96 to M-21. But I don't remember where we got off M-21

M-57 basiclly all the way across the state thru Sparta heading to US-31 business North/Seaway Dr into downtown.

Charles has his PT notebook here and we're getting a kick out of the gas prices, 2002 he paid $1.29 per gallon.

So... M-57 West to 131 North to M-46 West, maybe? M-57 sort of peters out around Sparta, IIRC.

You could come over to Muskegon by way of just south of Ravenna which is Ellis Rd. in Muskegon county, it turns into Sternburg going to Airline or of course over to U.S.-31

According to our local paper they must plan to come through Sparta (about 30 mile east of Muskegon) on M57 and straight west until they reach US31 on Sternberg Rd. I would suspect there will be signs for participants.

Sorry Jack - guess we got it covered now.

Thanks for everybodies input - I was looking at an older map. I was hoping to watch the cars 'pass in review' on Apple Ave, but maybe I'll go right downtown and deal with the parking there.

Denise - I have the 1960 corner tag, and I'm still digging for the 1959 passenger car plate to put it on. If I find it I'll bring it.
