Queenscliff Rod Run is returning for another year for a weekend full of colourful displays and classic cars.
Hot rods will cruise down Hesse Street on Saturday, February 1, between 5pm and 10pm before the main Show’ N’ Shine event in Princess Park on Sunday, February 2, from 9am to 3pm.
Geelong Street Rodders organising committee member Greg Morrissey said he was excited to see many classic cars coming through Queenscliff.
“All the entry proceeds entirely goes to the Lions Club and then they’ll distribute it out to all their local recipients and charities,” he said.
“Whether you’re a car person or not, quite often, the hot rods are a bit of a head-turner for people, and they’ll be quite attracted to the car. They’re quite unique to see on the road.
“There’s likely to be about 800 cars, if not more, on display over the day on Sunday… and we’ve got 680 odd entrants, which consists of single entries, couples and families.
“It’s certainly a community event and we try to make sure that everyone gets something out of it and I’m looking forward to the whole weekend. It’s good to catch up with people throughout the hot rod scene.”
Custom classics and special interest vehicles will be displayed, with a $5 gateway entry fee organised by the local Lions Club.
