Street NATS Come Roaring Back; Du Quoin Becomes Motorized Mecca June 26-30, 2013

Get ready motorheads, it is finally back....Gear up for the return of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals coming June 28-30, 2013 to the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds.

Indianapolis-based Family Events (a division of The Promotion Company) announced the return on Tuesday. City officials are trying to stay positive and hoping for a kinder, gentler NATS than its previous 13-year-run. This event was legendary for its hardcore horsepower, cool classics and plenty of big block engines. This national celebration of horsepower and dream machines will be no different as the grounds will swell with beautiful, high-performance street machines, hot rods, and street trucks from across the nation.

In addition to the cars, witness the tuned-up Performance Marketplace for the latest aftermarket parts, burnout competition, dyno challenge, meet the editors of Car Craft, Miss Street Machine contest and more. There will be 40+ pro judged awards given including Car Craft Editor's Choice.

Negotiations began last spring and were completed last week. Those who want to register cars now can visit www.StreetMachineNationals.net or by calling Family Events at 317-236-6515. There is a $35 fee that includes an event goody bag, free judging, plus weekend admission for the vehicle, driver, one passenger and any children 15 and younger riding in the vehicle. Registration runs until June 21, 2013.
