AUSTRALIA’S biggest hot road show will zoom into Inglewood at Easter.
Organisers on Monday locked in plans for more than 100 hot rods to zip up the Calder Highway on Easter Monday.
Jadis Rod and Custom Club’s Ron Hayes said hot rods from across Australia would be on display in Bendigo for 26th Australian Street Rod Federation Nationals.
“It’s the first time the national show has been in Bendigo since 2017 - we had a record of more than 1200 entries then and pretty close to that again,” he said.
“While many head home on the Sunday, quite a few use the show for an extended holiday and we chose Inglewood for the Easter Monday cruise because of its history and proximity to Bendigo.”
Mr Hayes said more than 100 hot rod owners had already registered for the Inglewood cruise.
“We were looking at an old gold mining town with shops and cafes ... Inglewood has been the choice,” he said.
The Bendigo-based Jadis club was formed in 1974 to Jadis to promote the hot rodding hobby and lifestyle.
The hot rod cruise will be part of a bumper Easter in the southern Loddon with the 152nd Rheola Charity Carnival on Easter Monday and hundreds of orienteers competing in national events around Inglewood over Easter and the following Anzac Day long weekend.
