The 2021 Hot Rod Power Tour kicked off at the Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio on August 23rd. The full tour schedule appears below.

Summit Racing’s film crew was there to give you a look at some of the hot rods, trucks and one-of-a-kind vehicles that descended upon Summit Motorsports Park of the first leg of the 2021 Hot Rod Power Tour! Check out all the cars and watch as they rev up for some fun runs down the famous quarter-mile dragstrip…

• Thinking About Driving The Hot Rod Power Tour?

For the last 25 years hot rods, muscle cars, and street machines have gathered by the thousands each year for a test of man, machine, and the open road.

It doesn’t take a particular kind of car or truck to run the tour — everything from supercharged street sweepers down to bone stock barn finds run the route every year.

You’re going to see cracked paint, sedans, cheap tires, and Mexican blanket upholstery work pasted all over the lot at every stop. Read More…

Photo Gallery: 2021 Hot Rod Power Tour Travels South to Dayton, Ohio

Dayton, Ohio – Ahhh, the Gem City. Home to the Wright Brothers, Charles Kettering , and Bart Simpson .

…And for 2021, Dayton was the second stop on the Hot Rod Power Tour. After catching the Power Tour Kickoff at Summit Motorsports Park, we traveled south to see a fresh crop of classic cars, vintage haulers, hot rods, and muscle cars.

As you’d imagine, the parade of cars was impressive, so we were able to snap a ton of more pictures and talk to some enthusiastic owners about their rides. Check out the photo gallery below and click here for all of our Hot Rod Power Tour coverage. We’ll have some single car feature articles coming over the next week or two as well.

Paul is the editor of OnAllCylinders. When he's not writing, you'll probably find him fixing oil leaks in a Jeep CJ-5 or roof leaks in an old Corvette ragtop. Thanks to a penchant for vintage Honda motorcycles, he spends the rest of his time fiddling with carburetors and cleaning chain lube off his left pant leg.
