The 2011 Hot Rod Power Tour Was a great success.  If you are not familiar with the Hot Rod Power Tour, here is a brief description provided by (http://www.hotrod.com)

“For the 17th consecutive year, the HOT ROD Power Tour returns. This rolling tribute to the performance car is the ultimate gearhead roadtrip. With seven days in seven cities, we kickoff June 4th and spend the next week driving and bench racing through the south on our way to The Motor City.”

Each stop on this years tour saw increased traffic and enthusiasm for Edelbrock Performance Products as well as the hot rodding hobby in general.   It was great to meet so many amazing cars, new faces and to see many enthusiast from past tours as well.

We gave out a few copies of the Edelbrock book “Made in USA” and countless hats and posters. Participants were also able to register at each stop of the tour for a chance to win an Edelbrock “Top End Kit” which would be given away at the last stop to a very lucky Power Tour participant.

This years tour was also really special because we were able to raise some money for a great cause. On the final stop Edelbrock teamed up with fellow Hot Rod Power Tour fans and “long haulers” to raise over $1500 for the “Susan G. Komen for the Cure” which strives to raise awareness for breast cancer and eradicate breast cancer forever. Christi Edelbrock put it this way. “Giving back is very important to everyone here at Edelbrock and we appreciate the support and generosity of our fellow hot rodding enthusiasts and fans. Thank you for your help and continued support for such a great cause. God Bless.”

Here is a list of the Edelbrock Power tour Vehicles.

Iowa Speedway – Newton, IA

Today we’re in Newton, IA - the host city for the start of the 2010 Hot Rod Power Tour.  This year’s Tour covers seven cities in seven days, from Newton, IA -to- Mobile, AL.  If you’re familiar with the Power Tour, you know it is an eclectic mix of cool cars, automotive industry companies, host cities and a community of friendly people with one commonality – we all love cars.

Not familiar with Hot Rod Power Tour?  Let me tell you what makes it so special…
It’s the idea of being in a new city every day. It’s the car show that takes shape throughout the day as participants funnel in from the 200-300 mile drive. It’s the local community coming out to see the car show – which is free to attend. It’s the camaraderie of friends made along the tour. It’s the smell of high octane fuel, the sound of loud exhausts and and the thumb of big camshafts. It’s the drive through middle America on long forgotten roads in this otherwise point-A-to-point-B get there as fast as you can world. It’s the drive through small towns where the local people turnout lining the streets in lawn chairs waiving American flags and begging for burnouts. It’s the feeling of knowing where you are going and enjoying every mile of the drive. 

To sum it up, the Hot Rod Power Tour is a pilgrimage for Hot Rodders that forms a common bond through it’s seven city, seven day, ”here today, gone tomorrow” tour of middle America.
