NSRA Golden State Nationals Coming to Sacramento

If you're in the Sacramento or Tampa areas in the coming weeks, you still have a chance to attend one of these exciting shows.

The first weekend in October brings the NSRA 8th Golden State Nationals to sunny Sacramento, CA. The region’s largest and most spectacular custom car show will bring thousands of street rods valued at more than $56 million combined. Aside from the thousands of main attractions on display, vendors, live entertainment and special events will make this a remarkable way to usher in fall.

Sacramento also brings additional attractions not found at all NSRA events. A special display of ‘Tether Cars’ will be there every day of the event. These miniature race cars can reach speeds of up to 130 mph, and additional games and activities will feature something fun for the entire family. More than $84,000 in SuperPrize giveaways will be awarded, as well as a special “$unday $weep$takes” giveaway for participants of the Golden State Nationals.

All in all, it will be a weekend to remember. A trade show, swap meet, and ‘Women’s World’ area with arts and crafts will offer lots to see and do in between checking out the scene. An awards ceremony on Sunday will round out the weekend. Be sure to attend if you happen to be in Sacramento and surrounding areas.

Sacramento Here We Come

Over 1,400 street rods, customs, muscle cars and street machines will be on hand at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds October 5-7 as the National Street Rod Association presents its 6th Annual Golden State Nationals.

This will be the 6th time the NSRA Golden State Nationals have been held in Sacramento and an all time high number of participants and spectators are expected this year. Almost all of the Cal Expo Fairgrounds will be utilized for the event as well as many of the buildings, which will house over 75 manufacturer and dealer displays and other attractions.

The host organization, NSRA, defines a street rod as a modernized vintage vehicle that must be of pre 1949 manufacture. These vehicles are equipped with the latest options available on the newest model vehicles, including but not limited to disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, and tilt steering wheel. Most of those attending have updated the engines and drive train to enable the owner to cruise down the highway in comfort and safely maintain the speeds traveled by more modern vehicles. All vehicles must be driven on to the grounds.

Included in this event are muscle cars, those factory produced high horsepower machines from the 60’s and 70’s along with the classics cars of the 50’s. This is a truly unique mix of old and new together for the first time at Cal Expo Fairgrounds and a national gathering of fine vintage automobiles of every description. After 5 years as the Golden State Street Rod Nationals, the “new look” will continue to make the NSRA Golden State Nationals the area’s largest automotive participation event and spectators from around the area will attend the event.

If you are in the area, be sure to see what is new at the AMSOIL booth. Enjoy the blend of nostalgia, history and technology... and a scene you won't soon forget, Sacramento's largest vintage car show.
