THE OFFICIAL DRIVING DIRECTIONS ROUTE
TBD
Here is a brief
description of the Hot Rod Power Tour if you
don’t know what it is:
The Power
Tour consists of seven cruise nights in
seven cities across the USA in seven days,
starting this year on Saturday June 11,
2016, in Gonzales, LA with a cruise night
from 10:00am - 7:00pm. The Tour departs the
morning of June 12, following a
predetermined route to the next city where
there is a cruise night between
approximately 12:00pm - 7:00pm; repeating
this schedule again for the next five days.
Participants can stay at the cruise nights
as long as they like and get there at their
leisure. Some cruise nights have had up to
5,000 participants and many more spectators.
There are vendor giveaways throughout the
tour and sometimes special events are
planned for participants (i.e. open drags,
laps on race tracks, autocross, etc.).
The driving route between the venues is
conducted through small towns on paved
country roads with minor amounts of
interstate driving; usually ranging from 200
to 300 miles each day. The route is
announced about two weeks before the
beginning of the tour. The rural routes
sometimes result in traffic congestion for a
mile or more while entering venues. It is an
unforgettable sight driving with magnificent
cars, with people on the street watching as
the cars go by. Throughout the entire tour,
anyone can join or leave at anytime, or do
the entire trip and be a
“Long Hauler.” Registration fees depend on the number of stops in
which you participate
(driving the route
is free to the public).
The Power Tour doesn’t only consist of
‘60/’70’s muscle cars, custom rides, or
street rods. Other participants of the tour
respect the Fiero and see it as an icon of
“Pontiac Excitement”. There are new, exotic,
and daily driven cars that participate too.
Participating vehicles don’t have to be in
show condition; there is no judging at any
of the venues. The Power Tour is more about
the enjoyment of driving, community, and
friendships.
Some Fiero’s from Texas, Louisiana,
and Kansas have already said they will be
attending some of the stops this year. If
you plan on attending, hotels need to be
booked soon, as many hotels at each stop
sell out very quickly. Visit www.hotrod.com
for more information. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at
STCampbell328@hotmail.com (please use
subject: FIERO HOT ROD POWER TOUR) or
call/text 630-816-5291. I have done the
Power Tour for seven years and have much
information to share; however my level of
participation for this year’s tour is
uncertain.
