Friday June 6th is just around the corner and that means that the Power Tour is right there as well. Does anyone else feel like May was about three days long? Actually we know that some of you who are trying to get your junk running to go on the Power Tour are feeling that way because your window to succeed is shrinking. Not to heap on even more pressure on an already tight timeline, but we have gotten word from Hotchkis that they are going to be hosting an open house and Barbeque at Hotchkis Performance East in Mooresville, North Carolina on Friday June 6th as a kickoff party to the Power Tour.

The Hotchkis Performance East shop is about 20 miles south of Charlotte and is situated in some beautiful country. If you play your cards right and cruise down on back roads, you won’t be disappointed! The facility has manufacturing and fabrication capabilities so when you take the “tour” you’ll see all the kinds of gearhead things that we know and love. Those things are parts being built from raw materials, a cool car build or three, and undoubtedly some future projects waiting in the wings. We know many of you will be getting into town a little early for Power Tour and this is the PERFECT opportunity to hob knob with some of the big wheels in the sport, have a great dinner, and see one of the neatest new shops in the country. What’s better than that, right?

We have ONE request. If you attend please sport a BangShift Forums Freak t-shirt (If you have one) and tell ’em Chad and Brian sent you!
