On behalf of our community, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the participants who brought their amazing vehicles, enthusiasm, and passion for the automotive hobby to our town. Seeing thousands of car enthusiasts come together created an unforgettable atmosphere that showcased the very best of the Hot Rod community.

We also want to express our sincere appreciation to our local citizens, volunteers, organizations, and businesses for their support, hospitality, and patience throughout the event. Your willingness to welcome visitors, assist with planning, and help make the day a success truly demonstrated the spirit of our community.

Events like the Hot Rod Power Tour are only possible because of the collaboration between participants and local supporters. Thank you for helping make the 2026 tour stop a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Safe travels to all the participants as you continue your journey, and we hope to see you again down the road!
