NSRA Western Street Rod Nationals
Bakersfield, cAFriday, April 29, 2016
The 40th NSRA Western Nationals were held at the Kern County Fairgrounds in Bakersfield, Ca. April 29th – May 1st 2016. Due to circumstances out of my control I haven’t been to this show since 2013, and I’m glad I made it back. The fairgrounds came alive once again to the thump of thousands of hot rods, many times that number of spectators, and the razzle-dazzle that accompanies such an event. This is truly a national gathering of every possible vintage vehicle imaginable. There was music playing all over the fairgrounds, thanks to Cruisin’ with Wings Tunes doing the DJ thing, as well as super prize drawings, a swap meet, commercial vendors, and Streets of Rods displays. Specific for the ladies was Women’s World, Ladies Tea, games and a quilt display. Put this one on your calendar for next year…..see you there!
Here’s my (short) video of the cruise line, shot on Saturday, 4/30, just to give you a little taste of what this show is like:
