Beautiful Sunny weather, over 190 vehicles and a brilliant host club made for a great weekend in Rotorua for the Century Yuasa 2009 NZHRA Street Rod Nationals!
Amazing Bay of Plenty weather shone over the Blue Lake Holiday Park where entrants were treated to awesome food from Brownie, and a beautiful blue lake back drop!
The residents of Rotorua were treated to an amazing display of beautiful cars in the central city on Sunday, after which entrants returned to the Holiday park for some Sunday avo relax time and then donned their best for the Oscar themed Prize Giving evening.
