One of the region’s biggest classic car and hot rod events will roar back to life for another year in Queenscliff.
Queenscliff Rod Run will kick off with a cruise along Hesse Street from 5pm on 31 January before the Show ‘n’ Shine at Princess Park at 9am on 1 February, with custom classics and special-interest vehicles also on display.
Geelong Street Rodders committee member Gary James said the event would be a good family day out and a chance for the community to learn about classic cars.
“I’m looking forward to everybody enjoying themselves…and encouraging families and the younger generation to take part in the sport,” he said.
“My favourite part about classic cars and hot rods is the people who use their artistic flair on them and make them their own through personal touches in the build.
“I like what people’s personal touches are, and it’s not always my taste, but I like how people are happy with what they build, and I take my hat off to them.”
Lions Club of Queenscliff-Point Lonsdale will be looking after the $5 entry and ticket costs during the Show ‘n’ Shine event, with all the proceeds donated to charities.
Police will be in attendance during the event to ensure public safety, with temporary road closures in place along Hesse Street for the Rod Run Cruise and Symonds Street for the Show ‘n’ Shine.
