Hot Rod Power Tour 2008~Driving Through Wamego, Kansas

The Hot Rod Power Tour consisting of a multitude of various vehicles (cars, trucks, and others you’d have to see to believe) flowed through Wamego, Kansas like a never-ending parade. It was stated that there were 3,500 participants.

They had left Heartland Park, Topeka, Kansas early morning June 10th on Interstate 70 and then turned north on Highway 99, driving through Wamego, Kansas headed for Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Hot Rod Power Tour was amazing to see; with vehicles glinting in the hot, morning sun miles and miles inching through the little city intermingled with city and business traffic. There were crowds of people and scores of cameras. Many from the Hot Rod Power Tour were snapping shots and videos. I’ve been to classic car shows before, but I’ve never seen a show of so many moving vehicles in a diverse assortment of ages, styles, and repairs as with the Hot Rod Power Tour.

I had taken 500 photographs and got a little sunburn on my face. This short video features some of my selected photographs in a slide show set to music. I hope you enjoy the video!

Please check back later for Preston’s video of his selected video clips and photographs of the Hot Rod Power Tour. His video is different from mine, and a lot of fun to watch!

The Hot Rod Power Tour’s last destination is in Madison, Wisconsin. For more information about The Hot Rod Power Tour, where they are at and where they are headed, click:
