1948 Ford Street Rod The National Hot Rod Association was founded in 1951, to take drag racing off the streets and into controlled environments. As hot rodding became more popular, magazines and associations catering to hot rodders were started, such as the magazine Hot Rod, founded in 1948. The origin of the term "hot rod" is unclear.
