2017 B&G x Power Tour Recap: Leg-5

Another day, another venue...and we landed just outside of St. Louis, MO (Madison, IL) at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Of course, the B&G Focus always finds a way to capture a unique parking spot for the day...front row!

...and we had some cool neighbors, too.

This "Deuces Wild" might have been our favorite of the day - it's just too rad.

2017 B&G x Power Tour Recap: Leg-4

Day-4, and we're up for a swing-thru  Illinois, stopping at the State Farm Center.
Started like this...
...and shortly after, this!;
It was amazing to see a new back drop each day for the vendor midway.

2017 B&G x Power Tour Recap: Leg-3

Another Day in Iowa, and we're at the Mississippi Valley Fairgounds - but, first breakfast...

...and now we're ready to roll-in (despite always arriving early, there's a line!)

The perks of actually arriving early can often include premium parking locations, though.

This was one, of several, parking lots that were simply overflowing with cars.

There's a style for everyone and every taste.

It was awesome to have a live band on-site at this event, too (still within site of some cool customs)!


2017 B&G x Power Tour Recap: Leg-2

A couple hundred miles and several hours later, and we found ourselves (we, being the 1000's of custom cars cruisin' the highways) at the Iowa Speedway for Day-2...it did not take long for the line of cars to build up, along with anticipation...the tour was starting to feel "real" for everyone.

The venue was massive, and again, there was nothing to do about truly capturing the amount of vehicles that showed up...thousands upon thousands!

The little B&G Focus always found a nice parking spot, though!

2017 B&G x Power Tour Recap: Leg-1

Leg-1 of the 2017 Hot Rod Power Tour is a journey all on it's own...because you have to physically get to the starting line!  A highlighting point of kicking-off the trip for us was riding alongside of historic Route 66, as we headed towards Kansas City, MO.

After getting the Blood & Grease Focus ST washed down, we had another journey...getting thru the line of the 1000's of hot rodders that would be applying to travel 'on tour'.

Words can't quite explain just how massive the actual event...
