   Hey Claudio,

   Thanks for your comment, and I appreciate your calling me a hypocrite.

   The NSRA set the definition of what a “Street Rod” is here:

   What is a Street Rod?

   At no time in history have Americans been as interested in specialty automobiles as they are today. Be it a rebuilt old car or a newly constructed, limited production, special interest vehicle, this is the era of the unique to anyone interested in automobiles.

   One of the fastest growing groups of enthusiasts interested in the older cars are street rodders; the owners and builders of street rods. A street rod is the most practical type of old car. By definition a street rod is: An automobile of 1948 or earlier manufacture which has undergone some type of modernization, to include any of the following; engine, transmission, interior refinements, and any other modifications the builder desires. A street rod is to be driven to events under its own power and is to be used as a safe, non-racing vehicle for total family enjoyment.

   By opening their events to the “rolling 30 year” qualification, it negates what they define as a “street rod”.

   The only cars “featured” on the StreetRodder.Net site are cars that are ’48 and older.

   I still attend the NSRA Springfield, MO event. The reasons that I do are as follows:
   1. It’s in my home town.
   2. It’s an excuse to ditch work on Friday.
   3. I get to hang out with my dad and my old car buddies.
   4. I try and ignore the post ’48 cars.

   For the record…I do have automotive interests outside of what is defined as a “Street Rod”, however, I would not drive my ’54 F100 to a “Street Rod” event.
