Join Rod Authority Editors On A Daily Driver Fun Run In April

We take great pleasure in announcing the Rod Authority Daily Driver Tour (DDT) From ARP factory headquarters to the 41st Annual NSRA Western Street Rod Nationals in Bakersfield, California.

We are looking for 14 of the nicest daily driver street rods that want to accompany the Rod Authority editorial crew from Automotive Racing Products (ARP) factory headquarters in Santa Paula, California, to the Western Street Rod Nationals at the Kern County Fairgrounds in Bakersfield, California.

The 14 cars selected will be treated to a special behind the scenes factory tour of the ARP manufacturing facility where ARP bolts that are commonly used in building hot rods are made. We’ll experience some cool crusin’ across some classic California highways to our final destination at the NSRA Street Rod Nationals.

Upon arrival at the fairgrounds, tour drivers that wish to join the NSRA and enter their vehicles into the show will be allowed to register for the event at the host hotel. Those tour drivers that do not want to join the NSRA and the Western Street Rod Nationals at this time, will be given a spectator’s pass to enjoy the show, a DDT tour T-shirt and DDT tour sticker to commemorate the event.

There will also be a variety of activities such as kids and adult games, vintage auto parts Swap Meet, Women’s World/Arts & Crafts Show, a Quilt Show, Saturday evening entertainment, night-time cruisin’, the Cruisin’ with Wings Show, and a non-denominational Church service on Sunday.

Drivers that join the NSRA and enter into the event are eligible for the NSRA’S own Super Prize Program, where over $75,000.00 worth of merchandise will be given away and last but certainly not least there will be four drawings for $2,000.00 cash. All prizes are courtesy of the National Street Rod Association.

All vehicles selected for the DDT tour will receive a car feature in the Rod Authority digital magazine as well as social media coverage of the tour itself. A special prize of car care products from Meguiars for the best appearing street rod on the tour, voted on by the Rod Authority Facebook Fans, will be awarded on Friday, April 28, 2017, at the fairgrounds.
