Sunday, 29th September 2024 to Saturday 5th October 2024
This is the 46th annual Rod Run to be held by the Drag-ens Hot Rod Club Inc at Valla Beach Holiday Park, 1 Regatta Drive, Valla Park, NSW, 2448, Australia.
THE EVENT
Beginning in 1977 as a 2-day weekend event with only 72 cars, Valla Park Rod Run has grown to in excess of a full week of indulgence, with an average of around 350 cars each year and is believed to be the longest-running and free entry Rod Run in the world.
The fun will commence on Sunday and run through to Saturday at Valla Beach Holiday Park, Valla Park, NSW. Entry and participation are open to all Hot Rods of 1948 and earlier vintage.
Throughout the entire week, attractions, runs and competitions are held each day, both within and outside of the park. These usually commence with a Drag-ens Welcome BBQ on the first Sunday night and conclude with the Award Presentation night on the last Saturday night. Events vary from year to year, however, will usually include a dress-up theme night and band on Friday, a go-whoa and burn-outs at the Raleigh Park Raceway, daily cruising around the Park (“Cruzin the Park”), competitions for kids and grown-ups during the week and the Saturday morning open display of all cars in the main street of nearby Nambucca Heads.
The theme for 2024 is...
