HRIA expanded their Education Days program in 2024 to include two locations: Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals in Columbus, Ohio and National Street Rod Association (NSRA) Nationals in Louisville, KY.
This was our inaugural year at Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals featuring seven member companies presenting information on the hot rod industry and our products. Featured this year were Trick Tools, Vintage Air, Classic Instruments, Wilwood, Dakota Digital, Detroit Speed, and Garret’s Rod Shop. Experts from each of these companies educated over 300 enthusiasts on how to improve their hot rods, select the right parts and create the vehicle build of their dreams.
We appreciate the partnership with the Goodguys Association that allowed us to participate in this event for the first time! We’d also like to thank these companies for helping us kick off this new Education Days series.
The long-standing tradition of bringing member companies and enthusiasts together to learn more about our industry continued at NSRA Nationals in Louisville, KY. While the weather was hot, our sessions were blazing with new information, tips, and tricks for enthusiasts to pick up. This year featured 12 companies including Flaming River, Vintage Air, Detroit Speed, Classic Instruments, Steele Rubber Products, Burr King, Speartech, Blueprint Engines, Borgeson Universal, Wilwood, and Holley Sniper EFI.
Over 400 attendees walked away with new information and products that helped them solve problems and move projects forward. We’re so thankful for the continued support of our member companies and NSRA who help us make this happen.
