Going Beyond The Red Line With Dakota Digital
There's nothing like seeing the needle on a tachometer climb all the way to red line, and feeling the adrenaline rush that comes with it. Your palms are sweaty, heart is racing, and you want to do it all over again. The gauges in your ride are the direct correlation between feeling and visually seeing that rush.

Hot Rod Power Tour 2015: Day Eight, Long Haulers Only
Today marked the day that quite a few hot rodders have been both looking forward to and dreading; the end of the Power Tour. On one hand, the group of long haulers had completed their ultimate goal of completing the Power Tour in their car. Through the taste of sweet victory was also a bitterness that comes with knowing that is over. After all of the fun and fellowship of the … [Read more...]
Hot Rod Power Tour 2015: Day Seven
The final leg of the tour turned out to be a little bit dreary with scattered showers and surprise 5-second downpours. My biggest problem was it getting muggy inside the cab while raining and not having a defroster. I actually had to endure a little bit of rain to clear the fog off of the windshield. Unfortunately some people did not make it to the final stop, but the journey … [Read more...]
Hot Rod Power Tour 2015: Day Six
We started off day six of the Hot Rod Power Tour in the same fashion as the rest of the days, heading south. This time we would hit our southern limit when we met the Gulf of Mexico in Gulfport, Mississippi. The venue was an old VA facility that is no longer in use. It actually made a great spot except for how troublesome it was for entry and exit. A couple of friends had … [Read more...]
Hot Rod Power Tour 2015: Day Five
Day 5 into the Tour, we took some gorgeous back roads down through Tennessee into Mississippi. The Scamp was running fairly well and I was having some issues, until it shut down on me. Apparently when I put the new alternator on in Wisconsin, I overtightened the cable to the battery and it wallowed out the hole causing it to short out and burn through the wire. We got the … [Read more...]
Hot Rod Power Tour 2015: Day Four
The fourth day of the Hot Rod Power Tour turned out to be a very awesome day. We had gorgeous views while cutting through the farmlands, burnout world records, racing and heat that would melt the tar off of the road. That last part may have included a touch of sarcasm, but oh well. Everything was awesome today until we got to the event. There, we searched all over for even the … [Read more...]
Hot Rod Power Tour 2015: Day Three
The official third day of the Hot Rod Power Tour 2015 is over. We took a trip down historic Route 66 and through endless cornfields. I moved from Illinois a few years back and forgot just how much corn there is in the Prairie State. Although you may think field after field of corn would be boring, it isn’t when you’re in the middle of a couple thousand hot rods. Every … [Read more...]
