Membership of the VHRA is governed by a few simple rules, those of which are outlined below.

1. 1.Ownership of a traditional style hot rod or custom is required. Traditional is defined as build styles ranging from the 1910’s to the early 1960’s. Projects are acceptable but must fall within the rules of the association.
   

2. 2.All cars must be of US manufacture prior to 1949. Replica or non-US counterparts are acceptable.
   

3. 3.All cars should contain a genuine major component of pre 1949 manufacture. Recognised components are: body, chassis or engine. Ford flatheads of later manufacture are acceptable. If your car falls outside these parameters they will be judged on their own individual merit.
   

4. 4.Independent front ends, disc brakes, coilover shocks and/or radial tyres are not acceptable on a hot rod. On fendered, full size cars, they may be accepted if rules 1, 2, & 3 are adhered to and suspension is not visible.

Once you are a member, and if membership is maintained without a break, then you can remain a member even if you are between cars. If membership is allowed to lapse, then you have to wait till you get another eligible car before being able to sign up again.
   

2. *If membership is allowed to lapse and renewal is made later in the year, it will run consecutively from the renewal date shown on your membership card.
