Greentown Man Wins NSRA and Indiana State Police Alliance Safety Award

FAIRMOUNT, IN - The annual Fairmount James Dean Run was held this year at Playacres Park in Fairmount, Indiana during the James Dean Festival September 25-29. This is an opportunity for street rod and car enthusiasts to show off their prized automobiles. The event attracts thousands of people, who come to the event to view the various styles, designs, and unique attributes of each vehicle.

The National Street Rod Association (NSRA) offers vehicle safety inspections at each of the thirteen annual NSRA events, and at hundreds of independently produced activities all across the country, such as the James Dean Run.

The NSRA Vehicle Safety Inspection Program is completely voluntary, and includes 23 separate items from the lighting systems, suspensions, steering and brakes. The purpose of the safety inspection is to alert the vehicle owner of problem areas, either real or potential. As an "advisory" type inspection, it is only used to call the owner's attention to something which may have been overlooked. This program and number of vehicles inspected grows every year.

In 1994, the NSRA's Indiana Safety Team working with the Indiana State Police Alliance, developed the safety award, that consists of the vehicle having to pass all 23 items on its checklist, and must have 4 safety items, such as: fire extinguisher, seat belts, third brake light and a dual brake master cylinder. During the year, at one of nine different locations in the state, these vehicles are invited to take part in the NSRA/Indiana State Police Alliance Safety Award.

On September 28th, Larry Williams the Indiana Safety Inspector for the NSRA along with Sgt. Randy Renbarger, of the Indiana State Police Redkey District, proudly presented the NSRA/Indiana State Police Alliance Safety Award to this year's winner, Jack Roe of Greentown, Indiana who owns a custom 1947 Ford Coupe.
