NZHRA,
There are an ever increasing number of privately run events as well as Hot rod Association events/rod runs,to the point where if you could afford too,there is something happening just about every weekend,somewhere in the country,in fact,we have,in the past,sat down and decided where to go,up to three or four months in advance.The North Island events quite often clash,so its always a problem..

I checked out the site Rods by Reid. It doesn't get better then this.
Thanks for posting.
