The 2025 Hot Rod Power Tour

Swope will be driving his 10th HRPT this year. Along with his father, it will be Sophia’s third tour. Swope’s father Bob is 82 years old. It was Bob that taught Robert how to build, how to drive, and how to love classic cars. Sophia was purchased and restored so that Robert and Bob could run the Power Tour together.
