Hot Rod Power Tour 2023 route

I did the tour last year for the first time and will be doing it this year too. Other than it being hotter these the sun in Memphis we had and absolute blast ! Although not officially released, the stops shown are from a VERY reliable source.  

A bit too far away for me unfortunately. I’m on the Power Tour FB group, and honestly, most the members are smart mouth judgmental know it alls. If the people who participate are as jackbagged as most on that group then I won’t partake no matter how close to me the route is.  

hotrodfords said: I think its a great event, you guys are going to have a fantastic time! I've come to the conclusion I'll never do it. Even though Hot Rod Magazine was born in SOCAL; the creator of the event is a lifelong Californian - Frieburger - they have found every excuse in the book to not bring it to the west coast. Like ever. There are certainly those that have done it driving from the west coast, but its a 36 hour drive time for me to get to an east coast event. With a trailer, thats really 4-5 hard days. Here's your west coast tour, drive it any direction. I didn't bother with stop points because its such a target rich environment you could pick 200, and have each and every one be a significant point to the birth of hot rodding. I'd probably want Bakersfield/Famoso in there too. You could make a nice diversion to Rt66 also. View attachment 875206 Please document your escapades for the rest of us to follow along.

My Dad and I did the 2019 Power Tour and had a blast. With so many people in the event you can easily choose who or who not to spend time with at the stops.  

i get 5 days off per year.  

Before the midnight massacre of print media, Car Craft had the Ant-Tour to balm our wounds. But that died with the demise of the magazine.  

~2001 it was Detroit to San Bernardino roughly following Route 66. The trip was fun, including the side trip to do a track day in Alabama in the middle of it. It was over a week that year. I left San Bernardino Friday night at 9pm local time and was back at work outside Detroit Monday morning.  

I did the Tour last year for the first time. I live in Seattle. My goal was the Tour and see America via small highways. Started June 3 and got home June 30. Drove by myself to Memphis where the Tour started. My son from Brooklyn flew to Memphis and did the Tour with me. My wife flew in to Atlanta and did the drive back with me. I took my 2014 Mustang convertible for the trip. It was absolutely amazing! A bucket list trip. If you are interested here is the blog I did. Hotrod Power Tour 2022 Allen

I decided to do it at the last minute so had no plans and no reservations. So every evening when the party was over I would drive to the next decent size town on the route. As I was out of the crowd I then didn't have issues getting a hotel room. Then I could be VERY leisurely in the morning and still be ahead of the main group.  

Did it in 2019 with my freshly completed '65 with my dad. I'll be doing it again this year with my 5 year old son in the same albeit now sorted '65! That looks like a great route Its a blast.

Oh man I would love to do it.  

I will be doing it this year for the 3rd time in my 71. I can't believe it is just a week and so away.  

That is right through my backyard...too bad my car is in shambles...  

I’ve wanted to do the power tour since I was a kid. I finally have a car for it but being self employed makes it difficult. Everyone thinks you can make your own schedule and do what you want when you’re self employed. Yeah, you can but if you’re not working, you’re not making any money. So it’s not just the cost of the trip.  

Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it this year and it’s too late to transfer my long hauler ticket. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
