Kalamazoo Next Stop for NSRA Nationals

Kalamazoo, MI is gearing up to welcome the NSRA Street Rod Nationals North event coming up this weekend. Starting Friday, September 11 over 2400 street rods will descend on the city for display through Sunday, September 13. Last year's event brought rain the entire weekend, but that didn’t stop the die-hard enthusiasts from turning out and enjoying the scene. This year the weather looks to be much better with sunny skies expected, which will impact the number of spectators making the trip this year. The three day event offers something for everybody with over 110 manufacturer and dealer displays, arts and crafts, swap meet, and the special ‘Streets of Rods’ found at most NSRA events this year.

Kalamazoo is home to several other attractions once you’ve had your fill of vintage street rods. From theatres to zoos, there is plenty to do the entire weekend. The Gilmore Car Museum in nearby Hickory Corners is currently running its attraction ‘History- A ¼ Mile at a Time’ featuring a drag race exhibit that details the history of the sport. Be sure to make it if you're in the area. It'll be a weekend your family won’t soon forget. NSRA events have played a pivotal role in the street rodder market and it’s only getting bigger each year.

Kalamazoo To Host 29th Street Rod Nationals North

Once again the rodders will be assembling in Kalamazoo for their annual shindig. The gathering of pre-1949 vintage street rods will be held at the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds this coming weekend, September 12-14. This is the largest automotive participation event in the region and despite gas prices being up a little this year, there will be a vibrant quantity of very cool cars on hand.

The National Street Rod Association (NSRA), with headquarters in Memphis, TN has more than 53,000 members worldwide. Vehicles will be driven from all parts of the United States to make this a truly unique gathering of vintage automobiles featuring nearly every make, model and style of pre-1949 manufactured vehicles. AMSOIL is proud to be a sponsor of the NSRA, with products that both enhance performance and protect the engines. AMSOIL also carries Mother’s products which add that special pizzazz when the car you’re passionate about is put on display.

Spectators will be treated to the sights and sounds of some of the best constructed, most beautiful vintage automobiles ever to gather in one place.

In addition to classic cars, the Street Rod Nationals North will also include over 120 manufacturer displays representing leading automotive specialty and aftermarket suppliers, as well as a “Women’s World” area with arts and crafts.
