The NSRA has been dedicated to uniting street rod enthusiasts and fostering the growth of the hobby.

With a membership of approximately 40,000 nationwide, the NSRA stands as a pivotal force in the street rodding industry. All NSRA events across the country are open to vehicles thirty years old and older, and over time have mirrored the ever-changing world of street rodding. Events feature not only the timeless pre-1949 street rods and hot rods but also an assorted array of custom-built vehicles, awesome muscle cars, and nostalgic retro-futuristic creations spanning the decades from the 1950s through the mid-1990s.
