After what happened on September 11th, you probably thought we'd be too scared to put on another Tour; yet here we are again. Our Tour is like a plague that won't go away; it's like an attack that won't stop...err, maybe those are bad analogies. What the Tour is: one heck of a rolling party that just happens to reach Atlanta in time for the NOPI Nationals show (which will be September 21 and 22 this year).
The concept of the Tour is so simple even our publisher could grasp it, if we had a publisher. If we did have a publisher, though, we're sure he'd be confused about the "free for you to attend" part. There are three legs of the Tour, each headed by members of the Super Street staff and each offering parties and giveaways every night. On the legs, you'll have the opportunity to meet, greet, and badger not only the Super Street editors, but also the unfortunate grease monkeys from the likes of Nitrous Express, Enkei, and Meguiar's who were unwittingly volunteered to go on Tour with us.
Each leg will take up at least two full days of driving before arriving at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, so there is an excellent chance you'll witness Nads reach his breaking point and quit. Before he quits, however, you should probably buy a Tour 2002 T-shirt from him. The price of the T-shirt is super-cheap, but along with the shirt you'll also receive a free Tour 2002 goodie bag filled with tons of neato stuff-the bags are also large enough to fit your head completely inside, so the possibilities are endless. For more information on Tour 2002, check out the Super Street Web site at www.superstreetonline.com, and don't forget to scope out next month's issue to find out more information, including info on the unbelievably great end-of-Tour party.
