Events – NW Nats (Despite sometimes threatening weather, the NSRA Northwest Nationals enjoyed a good turnout.

Does almost count?), High School Project (Can you imagine how many street rodders could cultivate if all the auto shop classes in the country had a project like this?), Custom Trends (Can’t afford the big-buck wheels, but tired of the solids or wires.
