THE WESTERN SWING

HOT ROD POWER TOUR WEST RETURNED IN 2024 WITH A FIVE-DAY ROAD TRIP THAT TOOK US FROM THE CALIFORNIA COAST TO THE ARIZONA DESERT.

- MICHAEL GALIMI

For the past 30 years HOT ROD has been throwing a road trip dubbed the HOT ROD Power Tour. The problem is that in those decades it has evolved from a coast-to-coast drive to a regional five-day cruise that primarily exists in the Midwest and touches parts of the East Coast. Our solution to bringing the joy of cruising back to a countrywide program was to add a second tour, this one called HOT ROD Power Tour West. We launched it in 2023 and brought it back in 2024 as its popularity grew, and the great news is we're already working on the 2025 Power Tour West.
