This year the “Nitro Knockout” warriors will include the AA/FD "Nitro Syndicate" recreation of a Woody Gilmore dragster owned by Larry Wolyniec. Larry has a long history in the Nitro racing categories with the Chicago-based Funny Car team “Chi-Town Hustler” and others. Larry and local rodder/racer

Dave Huber are the principals behind the Street Rod Nationals Nitro Knockout and a highlight will be Larry’s AA/FC Fuel Coupe ’34 Ford, a black and flamed masterpiece. Rob Stewart owns SpeedMaster and his AA/FD will fire up on Thursday through Saturday at 11am and 2:30pm to massive crowds gathered near the entrance to the South Wing of the exhibit hall. The true spirit and bravery of these early racecar drivers really comes to light when raw horsepower belches from the zoomies!

I n 2018 the NSRA invited “Industry Driven” display followed by Pete & Jake’s, George Poteet, Advanced Plating, Danny’s Rod Shop, Legens Hot Rod Shop and Nichols Paint & Fab. For 2025 NSRA reached out to Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop located in Gadsden, Alabama, as a very worthy Industry Driven candidate.

Vintage ‘35

W hile strolling the aisles of exhibitors at this year’s 56th Street Rod Nationals you’ll encounter a 90th Anniversary celebration sponsored by Vintage Air. At the Nationals in 2022 they began the celebration with a “Deuces 90” display followed by “Vintage

New Products Area Available to View Latest Innovations

Manufacturers’ Choice A nother highlight of the Street Rod Nationals to be on the lookout for are display vehicles in exhibitors’ booths. Whether inside or outside, the wide variety of vendors bring along some of the coolest project vehicles to help draw attention to their display or to help explain how their product works. So whether it’s checking out parts hanging from racks or laying on tables, to show-winning chassis and cars, be sure to spend time in the Exhibit Hall—it’s a four day car show in itself! Considering all these fantastic cars on display, the NSRA teamed with Alumicraft Street Rod Grilles for the fourth year in a row to present two “Manufacturers’ Choice” awards at this 56th Street Rod Nationals. Alumicraft not only sponsors these awards, but machines cool billet trophies for the winners. A group of manufacturers and builders will check out the eligible vehicles that must be a part of the Commercial Exhibitor’s display, either inside or outside, to determine two winners. The two winners will be on display Sunday morning at 10am in the space where the winning cars are on display. This award recognizes the quality of vehicles Commercial Exhibitors bring to the show, which have not been eligible for awards at the Nationals in years past.

Jon Hall’s radical Shadow Rods XL27, based on an Eric Brockmeyer illustration and a 327ci aluminum flathead engine developed by Jon and his great friend Mark Kirby of Motor City Flathead, captured one of the 2024 Manufacturers’ Choice awards.

U.S. Radiator displayed Big Oak Garage’s ’55 Chevy Nomad that came away with a Manufacturers’ Choice award in 2024. An AME chassis with an LT5 crate engine and

10L90-E 10-speed automatic transmission wowed his peers.

New Products Area Reveals Latest Innovations F or the forty-eighth year in a row, a display of New Products will be part of the NSRA Street Rod Nationals. The “New Street Rod Product of the Year” display is open to the public on Friday and Saturday during regular exhibit building hours—9am until 5pm and will be closed on Thursday for judging. Products are entered into this competition based on their retail selling price, and every item entered must be available for sale at this year’s 56th NSRA Street Rod Nationals. The New Products area is in a special room dedicated to this activity in the Exhibit Building area “O” on the Kentucky

Exposition Center Map on page 62. The three retail price categories for Street Rod Product of the Year are as follows: $200 and below, over $200- $1,000 and over $1,000 and up. A special “Best New Safety Product” is

also included in the list of winners. As usual dozens more are available for viewing so be sure to stop by and check out what’s new. There’s always plenty of everything it takes to keep rodding fun, affordable and moving forward with the latest technology available. Keep your eye out for New Products in the exhibitors’ displays as well because many introduce new products but choose not to put them in competition. Check pages 62 & 63 for location and times.

Services for the Rodders (All locations and times of operation can be found on pages 62 & 63)

MHRA Rod Repair Shop Celebrating 53 years of helping rodders at no charge, the Michigan Hot Rod Association is ready and willing to help you out of a bind at this year’s 56th Street Rod Nationals. The Powermaster Performance Testing area is conveniently located nearby. Safety Inspections Whether your car passes the basic 16-point Safety Inspection, the more intensive 23-point “Safety 23” sticker inspection, or you were unaware of the extra safety items each Inspector recommends, you’ll drive away from an NSRA Safety Inspection feeling much better about your ride. Registration & Trailer Parking Registration for the 56th Street Rod Nationals will return to the Broadbent Arena by entering the KEC through Gate #4 on Central Avenue just off Crittenden Drive. Trailer Parking is in the National Guard Armory just before Gate #4 from Tuesday, July 29, at 9am and then Wednesday through Sunday from 7am-7pm. This is a fully secured area. People Movers & Mobility Scooters The Louisville Exposition Center is a huge facility and the best way to save some shoe leather and get around is to hop aboard one of the People Mover Trams that circle the entire facility during the event. Also, Scooter Time Rentals will once again be back with semi-trucks full of mobility scooters for rent throughout the event. Swap Meet Swap Meets held in conjunction with NSRA events are among the best in their areas and if you visit Area P on your Expo Map, you’ll experience one of the best in the entire nation. It’s always packed with quality used and hard-to-find parts plus great project cars. Nick Donovan’s “Rockin’ Road Show” Everything from great rock ‘n’ roll to public address announcements can be heard across the Expo Center grounds, but you must visit the “Rockin’ Road Show” recording studio to check if you are a Super Prize win- ner. Every day of the event, Thursday thru Sunday, there will be one drawing for $5,000. Thursday thru Saturday the winning Event Entry number will be posted on the ‘whiteboard’ on the side of the Rockin’ Road Show trailer. One final drawing at the Sunday Awards Program for $5,000 will conclude the 2025 Street Rod Nationals $20,000 $weep$take$ Giveaway! Be sure to check the whiteboard several times a day to see if you won a Super Prize or maybe part of the $20,000 $weep$take$! Worship Service Always a great way to start the last day of an NSRA event, the all-denominational Sunday Worship Service is a featured activity. Everyone in attendance at every NSRA National event is invited to come for some inspira- tional music intertwined with messages and time for reflection making it a Worship Service worth attending. Circle of Winners An easy way to see all 50 award winners at the 56th Street Rod Nationals is to show up in Freedom Hall at 12 noon Sunday, deposit your Sunday Lucky Ticket in the tumbler, and enjoy the Circle of Winners on full display. Strolling through each year’s “Circle” is an experience unto itself until 1pm when the official Awards Ceremony begins and those with a Sunday Lucky Ticket anticipate winning one of the Super Prizes or the last $5,000 in the $20,000 $weep$take$ Giveaway.
