T-shirts Rule The West
Saturday evenings and Nick Donovan’s “Rockin’ Road Show” filled in all three days with upbeat tunes. The Rackabillies organized some great games and coloring challenges for the kids. The new “Streets of Rods” categories for 2026 include “Prime Time Place” sponsored by O’Brien Truckers, “Fantastic Flames & Super Scallops” sponsored by Watson’s StreetWorks, and “Fat Fender Freeway” sponsored by Fat Man Fabrications. “Pros’ Pick” by Alumicraft Street Rod Grilles and “29 Below” sponsored by Vintage Air remain popular gatherings and were well-attended by partici- pants and spectators alike. The NSRA Safety Team inspected a total of 62 rods, customs, classics and performance machines. Southwest Chief Inspector Steve Cardinalli reported 43 passed the NSRA Safety Inspection with 35 of those receiving a Safety 23 sticker for passing all 23 items on the inspection form. Sunday morning dawned to Angelo Frasier leading a Worship Service for rodders in attendance and then everybody turned their attention to the announcement of all the award winners.
