Event Coverage 2013 Australian Hot Rod Nationals

Some more

 

You are probably right on the rego.Wherever it came from it was a nice truck.
Still sure it won an award.Rod Hadfield and Norm were there with the Aussie Desert Cooler stand and talking Bonneville with Pete Aardema from Escondido.
Pete will be staying with us tomorrow night before he heads back to the USA on Wednesday and does more work on his record breaking salt cars.

Great looking event.....good looking cars as usual from you guys...thanks for posting up.

 

Now this post brings me to the "surprise" I mentioned at the start.
The Hudson was invited to join the static display of what the ASRF called the "Elite Car Show" (their words).I was very happy to assist with putting the car in the display to give an added attraction for the entrants and the public.
It was busy all weekend in the display area.No awards were given for this and it was just a great opportunity to bring the Hudson down and still have the roadster there as well.

Anyway at the presentations,which had to be moved because of the weather,I was elated to get the Top Roadster award.
My mate and I were about to leave after that was presented but decided to wait because of the rain and then they announced that the roadster had also won Top Street Rod of the Nationals.Wow!!!!What a finale for a great weekend for us.

 

Here are some pics I took of the event. It was a great weekend. I'll post more pics now that I have worked out how to do it - just have to compress their sizes.

Must've been more than 1200 cars - haven't heard the actual count.

 

Congrats mate, they look like some high quality cars you have there.

 

Some more pics - enjoy.

 

Congratulations. That is a nice roadster, enjoyed the read in the Street Machine HRA.

 

WOW, thank you muchly Hudson, lot of work to post all of those, and congrats on your wins.
Cheers
Rod

 

Amazing line up of quality work.
Thanks for taking the time to post them all.

 

I really like the yellow '51 Ford Ute, all it needs is WWW, hub caps, chrome grille, chrome bumper and new chrome rear view mirrors then it would be a great custom.

Thanks for posting all the cool pictures.

Thanks - John is an old family friend. Is the 46 back up and running? BTW - you took some great shots - thanks for sharing.

 

That COE is a 54, not a 48.....jus sayin...

 

Hudson48, Thank you for all your efforts taken in posting the photos of what appears to have been one heck of an event. Maybe some day I can attend. I do want to come visit your country some day. It is on my bucket list. Take care and be safe.

 

Thanks for the pics, I keep searching for my old 36 Ford 3-W that I sent over there a couple of years ago but the new owner must keep it under wraps. Have you ever seen it around? Larry

 

I believe your old coupe is in Victoria and still looking sharp !!

 

Thanks Hudson for taking the time to post all of your great shots, and congrats on your awards also , nice roadster !!
