Hosted by the New England Rods and Customs club, the event united hot-rod fanatics from all corners of the state and beyond, attracting entrants from Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane.
Event coordinator Paul Cundy said the weekend was a great way to cap off 10 years.
“It’s just a bunch of people who love their cars,” Mr Cundy said.
“You meet all sorts of people; it’s great to come together. We had a lot of fresh faces and fresh cars this year.”
The run kicked off on Friday with a trip to Hardman’s Car Collection, then a drive to John Phillport’s shop for lunch and a shed tour on Saturday, followed by a Show and Shine in the afternoon.
The evening saw the presentation of the Hot Rodders’ Choice awards, which went to the five most popular cars in the tour.
Entrants met again at the Traffic Education Centre to take part in various diving skill tests and time trails before going home.
