A new year

Hello again.   We're back after several months of not posting to the blog page.  We had several car shows and dinner activities since last September but the blog got neglected.  Sorry about that!  So, now it's a new year and we're hoping for an early spring to help everyone recover from a long, cold, snowy winter!  First thing on the agenda is to make public the announcement made at our Christmas Party in December.  Roy Drumm, the leader of the Michigan NSRA Safety Team announced the addition of two new members to his inspection staff.  Pete Derridinger and Jon Hansen of the ClassiX Street Rod Association are the newest additions to the team.  Pete & Jon are hoping to provide localized street rod inspections in the West Michigan area.  Stay tuned for contact information.

Second on the list of coming activities is the 2nd annual Kathy Weed Memorial NSRA Safety Inspection and Downs Custom Performance Automotive Open House coming up in May.  Last year's event was so well received that NSRA and Tom Borisch of Downs have agreed to make this an NSRA Appreciation Day for 2015.  Downs is currently in the process of moving to a new location in Grand Rapids at 900 47th Street SW and will host this year's event at their new location.  Besides the safety inspection, massive door prizes, free food and open house, ClassiX SRA will be announcing a new fund raiser aimed at assisting some local military veterans.  A special guest will be on hand to help us kick off this summer long fund raiser. 

That's all for now.  Stay tuned for more information soon!
