NSRA Autocross Director Kevin Webb will be handing out tips to not only improve your driving skills, but also you’ll learn how your vehicle reacts to sudden changes in G-force and test your resultant handling skills. Come on over to the track at its new location, formerly from the ‘lower forty’ out back to front and center where Safety Inspections were held and check out the action Thursday-Saturday from 9am to 4pm at this year’s Street Rod Nationals. Produced by AutoXperts Promotions, five vehicles with the quickest times will be presented an award during the Sunday awards program. NSRA Autocross

For the fifth year in a row, dragstrip warriors from decades ago will fire up twice a day thanks to John Jones Auto Group. Thursday through Saturday massive crowds will gather to take in the thundering voice of raw power. Larry Wolyniec’s Fuel Coupe AA/FC was a big hit last year, along with Rob Stewart’s Schepels Speed Master AA/FD. They’ll be in line with Dave Huber and others that may decide to “Come on Feel the Noise.” Nitro Knockout

With the given popularity of trucks this past decade NSRA decided to launch their new “Top Truck” awards in 2026. Billet Specialties is an eager sponsor and at every NSRA Divisional event two standout trucks are win- ning this exclusive, machined billet-aluminum Top Truck award. Billet Specialties will be awarding four elite Top Truck awards at this year’s 57th Street Rod Nationals and these four trucks will be chosen to advance to the prestigious “Circle of Winners” display area on Sunday where the ‘Best of the Best’ take center stage.

Vintage ‘36

At the 2026 Street Rod Nationals “Vintage ’36” will gather street rods and classics from 1936, an era of mechanical improvements and re-styled trim playing a larger role in design rather than radical body redesigns. Attendees will enjoy many examples from various man-

ufacturers in this “Vintage 36 90th Anniversary” display presented by Vintage Air who happens to also be cele- brating its 50th Anniversary in 2026.

An impressive display of new products will be part of the activi- ties scheduled for the forty-ninth consecutive year at the 57th NSRA Street Rod Nationals. The “New Street Rod Product of the Year” display is for companies exhibiting at the event, and prod- ucts are entered in competition based on their retail-selling price. Every item must be available for sale at the Street Rod Nationals in the year they are entered in this competi- tion. Check out the Official Event Program for location, times and a list of new products on display. Over 5,000 New Products Debuted Since 1978
