Australia's Hot Rod Pioneers

Hot rodding in Australia first became semi-organised from 1956, with the formation of the Southern Hot Rod Club. That quickly spawned more clubs. Drag strips soon followed as the hot rodders formed themselves into associations and looked for somewhere to race their cars. Organised shows followed soon nafterwith many of the same hot rodders involved in their promotion. Many of the participants from this era of early Australian hot rodding are now retired, and their memories are fading. Using their photo collections as a resource, Australia's Hot Rod Pioneers has been produced to ensure their pioneering days are recorded for all generations of hot rodders to enjoy. Rich with period photos over its 272 pages, Australia's Hot Rod Pioneers is an invaluable timepiece for hot rod enthusiasts, as well as general car buffs. Published by Graffiti Publications Pty Ltd, Australia's Hot Rod Pioneers is now available from all good automotive specialist and general bookstores for $55.00 RRP.
