I’m all about the road trip. Whether it is on an event like Hot Rod Power Tour, FM3 Road Trip, or all the Drag and Drive events we do, I’ve been all around this country looking through a windshield. So when our friend Cole hit us up to tell us about his new Route 66 to SEMA Show event for 2025, I was pretty excited. I’ve been on a lot of the original Route 66 and I dig it, and love that Cole is making this a different kind of trip. We’re talking stops, photo ops, and the full experience, so you don’t have to figure it all out on your own!
There are host hotels, including the historic Blue Swallow and La Posada, a real route with actual stops and things to see and do, plus a lot more. I really hope to join this one!
