Hot Rod Power Tour - 2022

[Tom Veale]

The 2023 Hot Rod Power Tour schedule is apparently out now.
Day 1: Monday June 12, Atlanta Motor Speedway
Day 2: Tuesday Just 13, South Carolina State Fairgrounds, Columbia, SC
Day 3: Wednesday, June 14, Rockingham Speedway, Rockingham, NC
Day 4: Thursday June 15, zMAX Dragway, Concord NC
Day 5: Friday, June 16, Bristol Motor Speedway, Bristol, TN

I'm unsure whether I'll go this year as it's a long haul from WI to even get to the start. Plus, I don't have A/C and this is a tour that might be reminiscent of 2022 with steamy weather.

If I find more, I'll post it.

Best wishes for the New Year,
Tom

I wanted to do it this year but like you said, it's a long haul just to get there. I'll wait until it comes back around the midwest

Look at this! Another 5 Seconds of FAME added to #007 as it shows in the lower section of the HRPT '23 Schedule!

The image of the '33 and me was taken on US Route 30 somewhere south of Nashville heading to Birmingham. The photographer was from Car & Driver Magazine and was standing up through the sunroof of an SUV to take that pic. There's a whole string of Power Tour cars behind me.



Best regards,
Tom

My power tour experience had serious weather too. Flooding caused one drag racing day to be cancelled in Iowa and
a huge detour from 80 miles < IIRC> of interstate to be closed. AFTER there was several miles of dead stop cars stacked
up on the highway. Only time I have ever driven down the shoulder the wrong way and up an off ramp to find my own detour.

I would still do it all over again, that week was unforgettable.
