Hot Road Super NationalsIf you've been a part of the whole high-performance scene for more than a few years, you'll recognize the Super Nationals and probably wonder, "Hey, what ever happened to that event? That was fun." Well, wonder no more because the Super Nationals is back as part of the Special Events Performance Series of shows. This year, the Super Nationals brings its special brand of torqued-up fun to Springfield, Illinois. The horsepower parade starts Friday, August 25 and runs through the weekend with much of the same fun stuff you'll find at the other events, including a Pro Street cruise on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

All you have to do is find your way to the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The rest will be as easy as hitting the throttle with the nitrous charged up and just as much fun. The Toyo girls will be there giving away goodies, and that alone should be a good enough reason to attend. But an even better reason is the late summer timeframe, which should guarantee pleasant weather, allowing even more time to take in the machines. The grounds themselves are perfect for strolling amid the cars underneath acres of shade trees and easy rolling hills. Later in the day on Saturday and Sunday, you'll see the crowds heading for the grandstands for the Truckin' Specialties-sponsored burnout contest, the Demo Derby, and the Balls of Steel Motorcycle Stunt Team. This last act is a team of young dudes on bikes who pull off some gnarly ramp jumps, and this year marks the return of the giant steel cage inside which the guys pull g's that would make a normal person yak. This you gotta check out. They will perform during the intermission for the Demo Derby. This only happens at the Hot Rod Super Nationals, so now you know.
