Casey Currie Wraps Up Maiden Voyage on HOT ROD Magazine Power Tour with MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater

CORONA, Calif. (June 12, 2013) – Casey Currie took advantage of some downtime from competition in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series to take part in his very first HOT ROD Power Tour last week. Over the span of seven days, from June 1-7, Currie and his one-of-a-kind MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater joined hundreds of the coolest cars in America on a journey through the South, visiting seven cities across five states and covering over 1,000 miles.

“To be a part of the Power Tour was an amazing experience,” said Currie. “The passion people have for hot rods is incredible and I feel honored to have had the chance to bring something different to the experience with the MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater.”
 
Currie and his fellow Power Tourers kicked things off in Arlington, Texas, with a full day showcase of the finest hot rods in the Lone Star State. From there, Currie took the street-legal MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater through the highways and backroads of the deep south. Following a pair of stops in Arkansas and a trip through legendary Memphis, Tenn., Currie showed what the MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater is capable of for the local media in Birmingham, Ala., by doing some drifting and donuts on the morning news.

From there the HOT ROD Power Tour hit the home stretch, visiting Chattanooga, Tenn., before reaching its final destination in Concord, N.C., and the zMax Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway. As if logging over 1,000 miles and sharing the passion for hot rodding with thousands of fellow motor heads wasn’t enough, Currie joined in the tour’s final celebration at the dragstrip by taking part in a record breaking burnout that featured over 100 hot rods, including the MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater.
 
“It was a huge rush to lay on the throttle wide open like that and hear the roar of over 100 hot rods,” exclaimed Currie. “I kept it going as long as my tires could hold it and in the end I actually ended up putting a hole in the asphalt! To know that we set a record by doing the burnout just topped it all off. What an amazing experience the HOT ROD Power Tour was. I can’t wait to come back next year.”
 
Currie and the MAVTV Pro Lite 2-Seater brought smiles and excitement to the thousands of enthusiasts who came out to support the HOT ROD Power Tour and be a part of the experience. Currie left his mark on the Power Tour, with a trail of rubber through all seven cities.
 
The Monster Energy/General Tire Pro Lite driven by Currie will return to action on June 21-23 for the seventh and eighth round of the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah.
