44th Victorian Hot Rod Show 2009

Promoted by the Victorian Hot Rod Association and co-sponsored by Shannons, the 44th Victorian Hot Rod Show from January 23-26 will see 180 customised cars, bikes and boats from around Australia gather in the World Heritage listed venue, which has hosted the Show every year since 1965. A crowd of over 25,000 people is expected over the Show's four days. As well as the coveted 'Coolest' trophy, the owner of the most desirable vehicle at the Show will also win a return air ticket to the USA, where they will attend similar iconic custom car events. Another feature of the 2009 Hot Rod Show will be the increased number of trade stands in response to demand from past patrons. Children will also be entertained in a party atmosphere throughout the event, through a range of activities including a Kids Colouring Competition, with trophies for entrants in four categories - Under 5, Under 10, Under 15 and Open. Entries must be lodged at the event office in the Exhibition during the Show.
