Day 1 of the HOT ROD Power Tour took place in Newton, Iowa and brought in thousands of cars that came by to take part in the first stop of the 2010 route. Enthusiasts came from far and wide for the Iowa show and in all sorts of makes and models. The HRPT is all about the love of cars and modifying them. This is true to form with what the types of cars you’ll find spread out among the vast landscape of each HRPT stop and what makes each stop unique in of itself.
For the Newton, Iowa stop, Tommy and Shannan Kiedis drove their 2005 Supercharged Cobalt SS 1800 miles from Boca Raton, Florida to participate in the show. So did Lane Stroik from Wisconsin who brought his LSJ-powered Ariel Atom 2. Both of these LSJ aficiandos are "long haulers", which means that they’ll be following the HRPT until it ends in Mobile, Alabama – now that’s dedication!
If you plan to be at any of the HRPT stops, make sure you stop by and see GM Engineer Bill Duncan, who will be manning the GMPP display. If you come by and say that you heard about the HRPT on GMTunerSource he’ll award you with a shiny GM 100th Anniversary gold coin for your efforts.
