HRIA Free Seminars And Pinewood Derby At The NSRA Nationals

Anyone attending the NSRA Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky – one of the biggest Street Rod events of the season – is welcomed to attend any of the 12 different seminars conducted by SEMA’s Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA).

The HRIA division of SEMA was created to ensure the prosperity of the hot rod industry by advancing and promoting awareness of the hobby. Part of the HRIA’s promotion of the hobby is creating programs that assist enthusiasts in the hot rod sector.

The free seminars offered at the NSRA Louisville Nationals will be led by the best names in hot rodding, covering wiring, air conditioning, instrumentation, chassis, steering, fuel injection and more. Did we mention that all seminars are FREE?  Interested enthusiasts can preregister at: sema.org/hria

The HRIA is also hosting a pinewood builder’s challenge at the event on August 5th and 6th. The HRIA Pinewood Builders Challenge is an opportunity to showcase the skills of nationally known hot rod builders while raising money for SEMA Cares charities benefiting Child help and Victory Junction facilities.

The races will be taking place on the show floor. If you are attending the NSRA Nationals, stop by for some excitement and see the pinewoods up close! After the races, the pinewoods are placed on display in the HRIA booth and auctioned off during the HRIA Industry Awards Reception at the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas.

The builder’s runoff will be on Friday at 10:00 a.m. and manufacturers on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. The winners of each class square off against each other to take the title. Some builders go all out for this event. The cars are then auctioned off during the HRIA Banquet at SEMA with all proceeds going to these SEMA Cares Charities.
