National Street Rod Assoc changes the rules .. - 04/16/09 01:17 PM
http://www.nsra-usa.com/They were the last hold outs on PRE-48 only, they had jumped a FEW events up to 64 and a FEW OTHERS to 70 in the past years
The email I got today says they are going with a 30 year rule for all events in 2010
Its not showing on website yet ?
So, if and when you attend ..expect the crowd with 32 furds to be grumpy

I'm sure they had to move the years
new guys can't find cars or parts to build pre-48's forever
They fought the change for many years
It will hiss off 75% of the current members
Wait till someone with a 32 is flanked by a Pacer and a Matador ..

you know I can see moving it up to about 1972 or 1974 but a 30 year floating scale I don't know
I know I dont care to see 76-80 corvettes or Malibu's at a streetrod show, I cant see how many more cars they could fit at York.
I think if they opened it up to 74 All the muscle cars along with the streetrods would be more than enough for most of their events

What is going to happen when the DONK and Bubble crew start to show up? Talk about a conflict of personalities. I can already see the guy with the fiberglass 32 Ford going ballistic when the 79 DONK on 26" wheels rolls up next to him.

2010 – The beginning of the Plus years"
Beginning in 2010, vehicles thirty years old and older will be accepted for participation at ALL NSRA events.
As we head into our forty-first year, it has become an overwhelming majority of our members who are requesting that we open our events. Most are making the request in order for them to be able to continue to participate as a family – parents, children and grand children. The National Street Rod Association has always been and will continue to be focused on making our events a family activity.
The National Street Rod Association remains committed in our efforts to provide our members the very best!
Please be advised this change begins in 2010 and for this year (2009), only the Richmond, Burlington, Sacramento, and Tampa Nationals will be open to 30 year and older vehicles.

If you want to get technical most of those 32 fords arent 30yrs old. Yeah their steel but they are new bodies and what year does the title say. They just need to kiss it up and not wine. It was bound to happen someday. 70s car are old now

i am somewhat disturbed by this announcement. it seems like a decision to go after more bux......but on another thought, the average age anymore is mostly greybeard.

From another forum. Looks like about 4,000 people are boycotting the "STREET ROD PLUS some other cars NATIONALS".
Quote:
Just back from picking up our packet for the Nationals, they're showing registration numbers only going up into 7200. That's way down from past
years & they can't blame it on the economy (but they will). Looks like the shirt
prices are up too, $20 for the T-shirt. Looks like they cut their noses off the spite their face. JMHO
