Our Tour this year is almost 700 miles and the longest one day drive is only 230 miles, so we should have plenty of time to make any scenic stops that we would like to do. We have been told that the Ozark Mountains makes a great road tour. We will be in a different location every day except when we get to the Ft. Worth, Tex. area. For anyone who is interested, The Lone Star Super Nationals car show will be held at the Texas Motor Speedway April 28 – May 1 in Fort Worth, Texas. Our location will be in Bedford, Tex. at the Super 8, which is a short distance from the track. The manager of the Super 8 told me that this hotel has just been refurbished with all new furniture. The price is the best I could find since that is a big weekend in that area.
Three days may seem like a long time to stay at one show, but the Lone Star Super Nationals is a show that is comparable to the Auto Fair in Charlotte. You will not be able to see it in one day. I have been told that there are usually over 10,000 vendors at this show. And of course, being in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, there should be a lot of shopping areas for the ladies if they don’t want to go to the show every day. Keep in mind that this schedule is only a guide line and if you want or need to modify your travel plans, then feel free to do so. Those of you who are going on the tour and want to register for the Lone Star Super Nationals, you may do so by going to www.thelonestarsupernationals.com. Those of you who don’t have a computer and want to register can just call us at 423-571-6430 and we will send you a flyer.
Our goal with our Vintage Rod Tours are to promote comradery within VSRA, promote VSRA in different parts of the country and of course, see different parts of the country. So let us know if you plan on going by giving us a call and we will send you a 2016 Ozark Mountain Vintage Rod Tour sticker for your car.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future. Although its styling retained many traditional elements, including an upright grille, separate fenders, and rear-hinged front…

The Volunteer Gap: Thoughts on Why Car Clubs Are Struggling to Fill Leadership Roles, and What to Do About It
With car shows, cruise-ins, tours, parades and varied events across the country, car clubs continue to bring enthusiasts together for camaraderie, preservation, and celebration of automotive history. But behind the scenes, many of these clubs are hitting a serious speed bump: no one wants to take the wheel. Volunteer-run clubs are facing an increasingly common…

Why It’s Hard to Recruit Younger Members to Volunteer Car Clubs, and How to Fix It
Car clubs have long been the social engine of the collector car world, bringing people together to swap parts, plan road trips, attend shows, and preserve automotive history. But in recent years, many volunteer-run car clubs have struggled with a pressing problem: recruiting and retaining younger members. The concern isn’t just about numbers, it’s about sustainability. As the…
