There's usually not a lot of cross-over between the power fiends at Hot Rod magazine and green car culture. The the two worlds are not inherently exclusive, and as petroleum gets more and more expensive, we're seeing the gearheads turning to biofuels and other alternatives.
Take, for example, the upcoming HOT ROD Magazine Power Tour, which features a supposed half-billion dollars worth of souped up vehicles. What's green about the tour, which includes 100 vehicles like the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro concept vehicle and the Hummer H3 Open Top? How about Jay Leno's silly-powerful EcoJet, which AutoblogGreen readers will remember from last year's SEMA show.
HOT ROD says the EcoJet team is rushing to get the 650 hp biodiesel car ready to drive along in the road tour, which starts in Cleveland on June 2. The tour will stop in seven Midwest cities (full schedule after the jump), and visitors can check out the cars each night will be free. If you go, and have pictures to share, let us know.
