This will be the 18th time the NSRA Southwest Street Rod Nationals® have been held in Oklahoma City and an all time high number of participants and spectators are expected this year. Almost all of the State Fair Park will be utilized for the event as well as most of the buildings, which will house over 100 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 engine and drive train to enable the owner to cruise down the highway in comfort and safely maintain the speeds traveled by more modern vehicles. This enables owners to drive their vehicles from all over the United States. All vehicles must be driven on to the grounds.
This is truly a national gathering of fine vintage automobiles of every description. The NSRA Southwest Street Rod Nationals is the area’s largest participation event and many spectators from around the area will attend the event.
The NSRA Southwest Street Rod Nationals is an excellent event for spectators to attend and those who take time to attend will be treated to the sights and sounds of some of the most beautiful, best constructed vintage vehicles ever assembled in one place. One of the special attractions for the spectators is that they can walk right up to the vehicles and check each one out close up as they are not roped-off or otherwise confined. All are in the open and can be examined top to bottom, front to back, inside and out. While the exquisite paint and other features of the car should not be touched, spectators are free to look to their heart’s content.
The big automotive show will be at the beautiful State Fair Park and is open to the public April 4, 5, 6, 2008. Make your plans now to attend the 25th Annual Southwest Street Rod Nationals in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It promises to be one of the biggest vintage car shows in the city’s recent history and you can enjoy every exciting part of it.
