1 st Quad Cities Street Rod Nationals
T he Mississippi Valley region around the Quad Cities roared to life August 16-17 as rodders cruised into the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds in Davenport, Iowa, for the 1st NSRA Quad Cities Street Rod Nationals. For those arriving early on Wednesday a Garage Tour, organized by the event’s Host Club, the Quad Cities Cruisers, included a stop at Antique Archaeology, “American Pickers” home base in Le Claire, Iowa. Thursday evening Visit Quad Cities hosted an exceptional kick-off dinner with a performance from the super talented Ashley McBryde. While members of the Pontiac Car Club worked the main entrance, Lesa Seibel, Lollie Krogmeier and Ann Rose registered those anxious to wander about the vendor booths encompassed in three buildings or do some shopping at the Swap Meet organized by Frank Rosenboom or Women’s World coordinated by Stephaine Genova. Others were interested in watching the Spotlight Builder, Midwest Rod and Custom from Wapello, Iowa, completely assemble a T-bucket in two days.
On Friday “The
Night People” entertained followed by “3 Day Rain” on Saturday. Sanderson Headers, Yogi’s, Visit
Quad Cities and Renee Kaulfuss
hosted a Ladies Tea for 156 ladies and an entertaining performance by Ron
Lubbers. Over $10,000 dollars was raised for local humane societies by the pinstriping talents of Jim Hetzler, Bill Foust, Mark “Fat Daddy” Hagstrom and Chris “D Painter” Glembin. Keith Krogmeier and Kirby Moon helped set up the event site and coordinated the Streets of Rods. After an indoor Awards Program Saturday evening, as it began raining rodders exited the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds and based on the waves and smiles we’re sure they’ll be back August 15-16, 2025, for the 2nd Quad Cities Street Rod Nationals.
