Latest route has posted. From an email that I received:
We have received several emails regarding the Houston area and the Monday morning commute traffic. Since majority will be leaving direct from their hotel, the best suggestion is to definitely look at a map and work on a route from the hotel over to US-290W. Sam Houston Tollway (south loop) is an alternate option but will still have some Monday morning commuters. Probably not as much as I-10 or I-610 but just be aware and have change/cash.
The other main changes were:
- OKC to Wichita - 81 North closed south of Haysville KS. We spoke to the KS Turnpike Authority and we put their suggestion on the route. An alternate is in red if you do not want to jump on I35N Toll.
- Wichita to Kansas Speedway - Exit from I35N to I435N is closed. Changed the route to continue on 56E to Lone Elm Rd N (KS-7N) up to KS-10 back to I-435N. Kansas Speedway requested we come in off 435 so we did not change that part of the directions.
We also have received numerous emails regarding the weather and if it will affect the event. Hot Rod Power tour is a rain or shine event. We will be at each venue ready for the participants/spectators all seven days. When driving the route between cities, participants should use their better judgment and if you feel the route is not the best bet on that day due to inclement weather, please feel free to choose an alternate route or jump on the freeway. The route is not a requirement of the event. If we become aware of road closures along the route due to flooding, announcements will be made from the main stage.
For newly registered participants: see links for the Event Details and Event Schedule below.
Our mantra: No Rain on Power Tour!
