Join host Dennis Pittsenbarger as he strolls through thousands of hot rods at the University of Texas in Arlington on the kick-off of Power Tour 2013 presented by Chevrolet Performance.

After a drive-in movie the gang hits the road in a Dodge Challenger, leaving tons of tire smoke behind as they head for Texarkana. In Arkansas there are more cars, more engines and more burnouts, and there's still a week more to come!
