Brewer fo r the Courier Journal Published June 1, 2011\r\n \r\nWhen the Muscle Shoals Area Street Rods Club was founded in 1971 there were only 20 ca rs to show. Tommy Higginbotham was one of the founders of the local St reet Rods.\r\n“Several of us used to race cars. As we got older, rac e cars got too technical to maintain so we made street cars out of the m. It became a more family oriented hobby for us,” said Higginbotham .\r\nInterest in the club has grown through the years. Last year there were 200 cars at the annual show. Higginbotham commented, “Everyone is interested in old cars.”\r\nThe current members of the Street Ro ds have a great time together and comically refer to themselves as “ old.” They welcome new members to their club. Reed Canerday joined i n 1975 and commented, “We need some young people to keep the club go ing.” Club members donate yearly dues and abide by rules of conduct. They attend car shows at various locations in the Southeast. Members also give back to the community by donating to local charities. Throug hout the years the Street Rods have given to the Cerebral Palsy Center , Lauderdale Christian Children’s Home, and the Salvation Army. Most recently they helped a local family in need during Christmas and dona ted money to the tornado victims.\r\nThe club is not just for showing cars. Canerday said, “We’re car builders too. We trade and help ea ch other find car parts.” Larry Lindsey, who joined the club more re cently, stated, “We encourage young kids to get into the club to kee p their minds busy so they won’t get involved in drugs and alcohol. \r\nThose interested in joining are encouraged to attend a monthly m eeting. The Street Rods Club members meet on the first Thursday of eve ry month at the O’Reilly Auto Parts store in Muscle Shoals at 7pm.\n \nFor more information visit https://www.southeastwheelsevents.com/eve nts/muscle-shoals-area-street-rods DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Midway:20190601T080000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Midway:20190601T160000 CATEGORIES:annual, rod, run LOCATION:Tuscumbia Spring Park WEBSITE:http://muscleshoalsareastreetrods.com/ URL:http://muscleshoalsareastreetrods.com/ CONTACT:256-762-4953, 256-366-7002, 256-383-5684 ORGANIZER:Muscle Shoals Area Street Rod ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/967597280?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Larry D sanderson":https://www.southeastwheelsevents.com/profile/LarryDsanders on END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
