The Fun Really Is In The Run - Search through street rodding history and you will find practically no mention to a “Run” involved with hot rodding until I started using such a description in Hot Rod Magazine in the very late Fifties. In the following decade, we began to use the term more frequently, until by 1960 it was universally invoked to describe an event wherein a group of like-minded hot rodders would drive a goodly distance to a destination for a gathering, then drive home again. This as distinct to driving to a race meet.
