    20 Years Ago

    October 2002: 116 pages, $4.99

    OT ROD Power Tour coverage dominated the October issue 20 years ago. By 2002, the Power Tour had grown into the huge, sponsored trip that it thankfully remains today. The trip went from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Pontiac, Michigan, with stops in Kansas City, St. Louis, Louisville, and Columbus—a true multi-media experience, even back then. Look for this year’s Power Tour coverage in next month’s issue. After the road trip coverage, Editor David Freiburger wrote about a 4.3-liter V6 that made 500 hp, thanks to help from a Vortech supercharger; and Steve Magnante compiled 25 time-saving tips from readers, ranging from how to insulate fuel lines to instructions on building cantilevered hood hinges. We have always had very clever readers.
