In the beginning.....

     The founding of the ClassiX Street Rod Association (CSRA) took place September 8, 2013.  The formation was a collaborative effort of six like minded men who opted to create something new in order to enjoy a more clearly defined organization.  Based in West Michigan around the Grand Rapids area, the CSRA is a club for owners of 1963 and older cars and pickup trucks.  As community and civic minded people, we have plans to assist and participate in several upcoming community and fund raising events.  Our primary focus will be that of building a solid club foundation while attending area car shows and automotive events.  Club membership has already expanded to nine families while several others seeking membership have their applications at this time.  Here's a picture of the six founding members.
