I visited the British NSRA HotRodSuperNationals last Thursday till Monday. My friend Willi ( 32 Ford Roadster, Brodix, TCI Chassis, Speedway Quickchange with 2.28 gears and no top ) and myself, comfortable with the 2001 Prowler ( next Street-Rod Project is not finished jet )went from Germany over to Holland, Belgium , France and finally to Great Britain. It was a bit stressful, we had 2 hours with lots of rain. Before arriving at the ferry to GB we put on some speed , to get no-top willi dry again. ( over 100 mp/h). The 32 Roadster can go + 170 mp/h, not so the Prowler. We had to go with 2 cars, because the Prowler was loaded full with German Beer for well known California Pin striper Herb Martinez, who was the special guest at this event. ( like Chip Foose & others before..) Anyway, the NSRA Fairgrounds at the GB Nats is large, compared to other Europe Meetings. A well known Aircraft museum is on site. Our stay was in a private residence, like a nice real castle. (see pics) NSRA England did a perfect organization around the Hot Rod Show. It was the perfect mix between family atmosphere and Hot Rod Party. ( The Rodder Parties at night are more fun than American events / sorry) The quality of British hot rodding grew a lot in the past years. Many cars can compete with the north American street rod scene. The next Super Nationals will be the last weekend in August 2006. Thanks again to the NSRA England, we had lots of fun on this weekend, and thats what it is all about... Greetings , Matthias/RMC
