Something for Everyone
NSRA Autocross kept participants and spectators busy during ‘dry’ spells, and Kevin Webb along with AutoXperts Promotions had a great event so be sure to check out the coverage on pages 16 and 17 of this issue. At the same time the “Slow Race” winner was James Thomas from Little Rock, Arkansas, in his faded green ’70 Chevy C10. Bethany Coppedge, aka Iona Belair, hosted the Pin-Up Contest crown- ing ‘Miss Poppy Foxglove,’ Brenna Castor from Leavenworth, Kansas, as “Miss Mid-America.” Kent Williams coordinated the Swap Meet full of rare parts and Linda Schmoranz set up shopping options in Women’s World. Renee Kaulfuss hosted 119 ladies who enjoyed entertainment and visiting at the Ladies Tea sponsored by Sanderson Headers and the Springfield CVB. Jane Linn coordinated a display of quilts with Donna Oliver from Denver, Colorado, coming out the winner. Walt Kruger, Kerby Moon, Wally Burchill and Punkin Johnson coordinated and set up the Streets of Rods areas. As always at any NSRA event the Safety Inspection Team was on hand and they examined 96 vehicles during the show, passing 80 of them and placing Safety 23 stickers on 67 of those. On Sunday morning “4 Calvary” entertained and thanked the Lord for our blessings and then the awards were announced, ending a beautiful three-day weekend. The 43rd Mid-America Street Rod Nationals is scheduled for May 22-24, 2026, for another Memorial Day weekend of “Fun With Cars.”
