Originally posted by papasmurf587 View Post In honor of the original 2020 power tour start date Sunday, we pulled the Goat out for the 1st time this year and drove part of the 2014 Day 1 route that started in Charlotte (PT’s 25th anniversary). We drove the section through Lake Lure, Chimney Rock toward Asheville NC. The only thing missing was 5000 of my best friends.

Following Summit Motorsports Park's decision to close for 2020 events, we are working diligently on a replacement venue for the August 23rd stop of HOT ROD Power Tour with consideration for our participants and sponsors.
Frankly, while its easy for me to say, I don't know why Bill Bader doesn't want to open the gates for this event with no racing - it would seem to me that it would be good PR that should would at least break even financially considering concession sales and hourly staffnom de guerre - arrowhead from joysey

I suspect there is a bigger play - complete loss of business for an entire season - not sure if it is an IRS or government bailout deal but I am sure there are benefits to not opening at all (liability insurance in case one of us falls down in the bathroom )

A big chunk of that 85% could have been sponsors/advertising & vendors pulling out for the season too... not just money from butts in the seats. Again, that's just me guessing.Last edited by Jesse James 80; June 10, 2020, 10:53 AM.1967 Chevrolet C10 SWB - 350/700R/3.73

After all these years, the Turkish bazaar scene that we call 'venues' is my lowest priority
