			'''''Hot Rod''''' magazine is the oldest magazines devoted to the hobby of [[hot rod]]ding, modifying automobiles for performance and appearance, having been published since 1948 by Primedia. Hot Rod Magazine has licensed affiliation with UTI (Universal Technical Institute)


			The '''''Hot Rod Power Tour''''' is an organized tour where people in the car hobby drive a pre-planned route throughout the country. It began in 1995 when Hot Rod Magazine staff members decided to take some of their project cars on a cross-country drive from Los Angeles, CA to Norwalk, OH. Thousands of people participated along the way but only seven participants (other than staff members) made the entire jouney and were inducted into the original "Long Hauler Gang". Since its inception, this event has continued to gain in popularity and is now one of the most anticipated automotive events each year. It is typically six to eight days in length and held in late May or early June. In recent years, the tour has evolved to become what is essentially a continuous trek around the United States in that it begins in or near the location that it ended in the previous year. Each stop is combined with events or activities that vary as much as the participants themselves.
