JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

THE SURGEON GENERAL OF HORSEPOWER PRESCRIBED A FIVE-DAY ROAD TRIP TO CURE OUR ILLS

- JOHN MCGANN

Some pills are more bitter to swallow than others, but imagine receiving a prescription from your primary care physician recommending a course of treatment comprised of a five-day road trip in your favorite car. Sign me up! Anyone reading this would find that pill to be very easy to swallow.

That’s the remedy we had planned for the 2021 HOT ROD Power Tour Presented by HP Tuners and Driven by Continental Tire. After a hiatus last year due to the global pandemic, the Power Tour returned to offer an octane-fueled remedy for gearheads looking to cure the COVID blues. Normally held in June, we bumped the Power Tour back to the end of August to have extra time to plan the event and to also gauge the climate of the country in case things took a turn for the worse.
