Thanks for the clarification. I built mine in the early 70's, so all I ever new was the NSRA definition. I guess "What a hot rod is" sorta' falls in the same catagory as "What a pro street is". I don't loose sleep over it but,....... it does get me stirred up a little...just a little....... when someone puts a set of gauges and wide tires on an otherwise stock vehicle and calls it a pro street.

That's a phrase I haven't heard since pullin' up to the curb in my panel truck. Welll.... that's not entirely fair, cuz' 1 or 2 of the old gezzers actually liked my truck. One told me it would go faster with narrow tires on the back, cuz' those big tires cause too much drag. He didn't realize I had a 454 under the hood. HE HE
