Was at Route 66 festival in Springfield, Mo this past weekend, heard people say there won't be a HRPT in 2020. Can anybody confirm this?

Seems like every year there are rumors about the tour ending a year or two down the road....when you got a fast car, you think you've got everything.

The current contract with the management company ends after the 2019 tour. I am not sure what that means, other than the contract is up.
It will be the 25th year for Power Tour, it will start in Charlotte unless something crazy happens.
I am hoping for a route that keeps us in the mountains with some cooler temps than we have had the last few years.

I also hope for a route thru mountains where temps are cooler, 55 is old school 2-60 air conditioning and wife has trouble with heat. Hope tour starts in Charlotte so I can drive new roads from Missouri.

There will be no 2019 Street Machine Nationals in Springfield, MO. But that event had been going down hill for awhile.
There has to be enough money being made by those putting HRPT on to keep it going. Let's get through the 2019 tour before spreading 2020 rumors.
On a side note, I made the 2019 Charlotte hotel reservations today.GM G-bodies, because I can't afford a 69 Camaro.

I will not be long hauling next year, however, Charlotte is practically in my backyard, I plan to be up there and run at least the first leg, maybe even the 2nd, depending on how far we get from home.
As far as 2020, who knows. I wouldn't let the contract worry you, this is the 3rd event planning group since I started going in 2014. Maybe the shorter contract keeps them on their toes and gives Hot Rod the opportunity to boot them if they suck.Last edited by Jesse James 80; August 15, 2018, 07:28 AM.1967 Chevrolet C10 SWB - 350/700R/3.73
