21st NSRA Nostalgia Nationals: 20/06/2014 - 22/06/2014 From their website http://www.shakespearecountyraceway.com/eventdetails.asp?event=97 (as of 16/11/2013) Twenty years ago in 1993 the first Nostalgia Nationals, supported by the NSRA took place in early April. Twenty one years later its still going strong, and bigger and better than the first.
www.nsra.org.uk.
The fifties was the cornerstone for drag racing and it’s events like the Nostalgia Nationals and the Original Hot Rod Drags which help to recreate the golden days of hot rodding on disused airfield’s and the dry lake beds. Where else can you expect to see period Flathead roadsters and coupes, 200 mph blown methanol injected hot rods, ground thumping dragsters, big blocked Fiats and classic blown Willys Coupes? At the Nostalgia Nationals of course!
More than 200 show quality Street Rods and American Muscle Machines are expected to this special NSRA co-ordinated event for three action packed days of 'street legal drag racing’ for pre ’73 high dollar hot rods and big block custom cars that were special before the land went decimal.
Adding spice to the mix will be the high rolling Gasser Circus commonly known as the 'nose high marauders' featuring 'door cars’ from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Along for the ride will be the Flathead Meltdown where side valve engines still reign supreme. And last, but certainly no means least, the full on power from the awesome Outlaw Anglia class and the Supercharged Outlaws will be here to excite and entertain.
Within the ranks of the nostalgia world expect to see a big contingent from the Wild Bunch nostalgia class; a class where front engined 'slingshot' dragster and altereds rule and straight six Jaguars rub shoulders with Buick 'nailheads’ Fords, Chryslers and of course Chevrolet V8’s.
There will be a full trade village selling everything from T-shirts, books, DVDs, models and stickers. Evening entertainment includes bands and a disco both nights in Kenny's Bar.
If you haven't been to this event before and like the idea of seeing what your hot rod will do on the strip then take our advise - you won't get a better opportunity. |

Chris, ("Forgotten"), & I drove up to Stratford for this on Sunday. Didn't have my truck finished in time, so we went in my daily driver. A busy meet, with plenty of vehicles running, marred only by the constant down time, caused mainly by cars struggling in the ridiculously hot weather -how often can we say that in this country?! I'm now suffering from major sunburn on the back of my neck. Nice to see my big brother Steve, (Brock), & Lesley, (Black Pig). Unfortunately their new car was still producing teething problems, this time with the high pressure oil pump over filling the rocker covers & blowing oil past the valves & straight out through the exhausts. Not the end of the world, but it meant they couldn't run on the track. The car was getting a lot of attention in the pits though & as Steve & Lesley are now building drag cars for a living, the advertising came in handy. Steve & Chris with Steve's small block Chevy engined slingshot dragster -all his own work, from the chassis to the paint. Go & order one now. http://www.fieldcraftfabrication.co.uk/ |

I enjoy going to drag meets, but don't really follow the racing -I'm there to look at the cars & enjoy the atmosphere really. So I do the 2 big hotrod drag meets, the Nostalgia Nationals in June & the Hotrod Drags in September. Chris is a wannabe racer though, so I left him chatting to Steve & went for a mooch about with the camera.
It was so hot!

Standard estate was fully road legal. Ideal for doing the weekly shop in.

Hillman Avenger bodied "funny Car". I'm told Steve's quoted to build a new chassis for this.
