Let’s face it, one of the best ways to enjoy a muscle car is to drive it. And, who isn’t looking for new and exciting ways to enjoy their muscle cars? The group at Muscle Car Adventures knows we’re all jonesin’ to get a few miles in whenever we can. That is why they have created the Muscle Car Adventures event, being held on September 21-24, 2023.

This is the tenth year for the event and there are many varied road tours and attractions throughout the Wisconsin countryside scheduled for those in attendance. The event starts each day at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Wisconsin is not known for having long, straight roads, so road tours are a great way to enjoy your muscle car just the way it was meant to be driven.

All tours begin at the Chula Vista Resort and spread out into the surrounding Wisconsin countryside.

The road tours are guided and designed to carry you through some of the best of Wisconsin’s roads less traveled. There are two types of road tours. Scenic Tours will be a leisurely drive through the countryside in participants’ beloved cars, allowing them to take in the scenery in a relaxed manner. Spirited Tours are for drivers, confident in their cars and their driving abilities. These tours take on a more aggressive driving manner so know your abilities and chose your road tour options wisely.

Guided tours have a maximum number of cars allowed and some tours will have required additional fees for samples and on-site tours as indicated in the tour’s description. Some tours also require closed-toe shoes so check the requirements for each excursion accordingly. Each participant will receive a tour map in their welcome packet and all tours will be launched on time. All longer tours will have scheduled rest stops for all attendees.

Each tour has scheduled stops full of interesting (and tasty) things to see and do.

The events begin on Thursday, September 21 with Hot Laps at the Dells Raceway Park. Attendees will return the following day for more opportunities to open up their rides around the track. From there, each numbered tour splinters off to visit any number of attractions throughout the countryside.
