The history of Southern Ontario Street Rods Inc is, to a large degree, the history of Street Rodding in this part of the world and their hosting of the very first CANATS in London in 1971 was a milestone event as it gave birth of the Canadian Street Rod Association and the concept of a truly national organization and annual event.

 

In the broadest of terms, their history is our history and their induction tonight into the Canadian Street Rodding Hall of Fame is most deserved. Their list of members and former members includes 4 previous Hall Of Fame Inductees, Jim Flett, John Van Dube, Roy Bogart and Frank Wall and some of the most respected people in hobby.
