NSRA Street Rod Nationals Plus – Best New Products    

Of the many exciting things that happen at the Street Rod Nationals Plus in Louisville, KY every year, few rival the announcement of the Best New Products of Year (certainly for their creators!).  This year was no exception, particularly for the three big winners – United Pacific Industries, Classic Instruments, and Eight Stack.

The New Product entries are divided into three classes based on price point: $0-200, $201-$1000, and $1000 – up.  An additional Safety Winner is also announced.

Since 1978, over 4800 items have been entered to compete as Best New Product of the Year. They are judged by a team of judges from the industry including shop owners, vendors, journalists, and others who know the products and their intended audience.  In 2013, 151 items from 36 companies were entered.  Congratulations to all who entered, and particularly to the winners.
