Welcome to the UK National Street Rod Association | The NSRA  The NSRA is the UK's premier Hot Rod Association for pre 1972 Hot Rods, Street Rods, and Customs.
Originally formed in 1972, the NSRA is the club of choice for UK rodding enthusiasts. As well as being the National organisation for hotrodders, each year the NSRA organises two of the UK's largest hot rod show weekends, plus two major auto parts swapmeets, and in conjunction with Shakespeare County Raceway, two nostalgia drag racing event weekends. The NSRA also supports European rodding events, as a member of the European Street Rod Association.

| Our type of car and 'The spirit of Rodding'Our type of car has its roots in a particular American style of modifying and customising. A style that goes back to the original hot rods, built and raced on the street, the drag strip, and the salt flats, since before World War II.
Many of the things that define the look of a hot rod - removal of fenders, taller rubber on the back, roof chops, louvres - are not merely styling exercises; they all stemmed from the original rodders' desire for less weight, lower frontal area, less drag, and better gearing.
Hot rodding has since developed in many different directions, from the simple hot rod of the forties, through the customs and wild show cars of the sixties, to the high-tech street rods, pro-street cars and top fuel dragsters of today. |  NSRA Membership
