  • My PT rant email to HR mag - and I got a responce

    I wrote the mag a email a while back, kinda surprised i got a responce with some surprising info in it

    Why cant the central part of the USA get any power tour love ? some of us middle aged people cant afford to take 2 weeks off of work to attend when it seems to only travel thru TN, KY, and into FL. If im correct I thought I read somewhere that PT has been thru Nashville atleast once every three years since 1999. And how many times has it been in TX, Once ? Twice ?

    I dont want to hear the excuse about venues, traffic, im just curious, WHY ? Nashville seems to hold major automovtive events where thier Pro football team plays, Dallas has one of those, so does Houston and Kansas City, OKC has these fairgrounds where they have this lil NSRA show every year, and I know all those venues have plenty of parking space, cause ive been to all of them as well as nashvilles, they are all more than capable of doing the job and if you guys plan on another east coast power tour in 2012 can you let me know soon so that I can move to west virginia so that I could attend it


    and heres thier responce....

    Hi, Charles.
    Thank you for the email and for being a long-time supporter of HOT ROD POWER TOUR. We work on cities and venues well in advance of the route announcement each year. Currently we are working on 2012 and 2013. We usually like to start where we end to give some continuity, and that plan is afoot again for 2012.

    While we will not be going to Texas this year, don?t be surprised to see that in the mix for upcoming Tours. So, please don?t uproot and move to West Virginia! We are dedicated to mixing up the Tour over the next few years.

    Thanks again, Charles ?
    See you in June.

    Good to see you got a response from HR!

    That info coincides with that I got about the 2012 tour ending in Ft Worth and the 2013 starting there. It would be nice to see it go up through Oklahoma for a change, we'll have to see if they do that for '13.

        So putting all the intel that we have together, it looks like 2012 HRPT will be Detroit, MI to Ft. Worth, TX .....

            That's cool that they got back to you. I remember before my first PT, I sent an email to them with some questions and I actually got an response back from Freiburger himself. I thought that was pretty cool.

            BTW, I'm up for Detroit to Texas. ;)

                              I would love nothing more than to show off our neck of the woods. We do grow corn around here but if you look west you will see those beautiful mountains!
