♠️ Thank You to Our Sponsors ♠️

Hot Summer Nights Rod Run wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of these local businesses.

Below are the businesses backing this year’s event — each one playing an important part in making the weekend possible.

We truly appreciate every individual and organisation that gets behind us!

We’ve had a few questions about how the general public can take part and where to see all these cool rods — here’s how:

♠️ Saturday Night Cruise ♠️ Firebrace St (from 5pm) - 21st Feb

Not just for entrants! If you’ve got a cool custom, classic or hot rod, bring it down for a few laps!
It’s a public road, so please follow all road rules. Police will be present, so do the right thing so we get to keep this great event running for years to come.

Come down, watch the cars in motion, buy an ice cream or even dine out! Should be a great evening for all to get involved!

♠️ Sunday Show ‘N’ Shine ♠️ Soundshell (from 9am till 1pm) - 22nd Feb
Free public viewing (gold coin donation appreciated).
Want to display your pride and joy? Just $10 to enter on the day.
Bring the family and come enjoy the weekend!
