(Words and photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) –\u00a0The first weekend of May is always the time for NSRA to come to Knoxville, Tennessee\u00a0and host the Street Rod Nationals South. This event has been going on for 40 years, and\u00a0it\u2019s held at Chilhowee Park, which is a great setting for a car show.<\/p>\n

When the NSRA lifted the car age limit from 1948 to a 30-year sliding scale, it really opened the doors for lots of cool muscle cars, and classic trucks to attend the event. We
\nscoped out all the cool stuff, so you probably won\u2019t see any red fiberglass \u201932 Ford coupes with tweed interior and a crate engine in this gallery. There were several gassers on the grounds, and quite a few tastefully done \u201crat rods\u201d as well.<\/p>\n

The vendor area was packed with a lot of our friends and sponsors, and we also made a\u00a0pass through the swap meet to see what we could find. Overall, the event was better than it has been in the past few years. The weather was perfect and a great turnout of cars and spectators made for a fun show.<\/p>\n
