Rocket Speed Equipment Open Day

Rocket Open House

Dan & Gary at Rocket hosted an awesome day! Can you imagine travelling to an event in a line up of roadsters? Well, it sort of happened unplanned this past Saturday to and from Rocket Speed Equipment’s Open House in Hamilton. I call it the first unofficial Queen City Roadsters outing – my apologies as this wasn’t planned to be like this and sometimes the best things are the unplanned ones.

I went with Ted Morgan in his 28 on a Deuce frame and we met with Kelly O’Donnell and Mark Barton, Kelly’s roadster was driven by friends whist the Rocket built chassis of Mark’s was transported down to display at Rocket. Its going to be a very cool car and it was then that I tagged the trip as our first unofficial outing. It looked like wet weather was on its way and we copped it and scored some excellent shots which will appear in Feb 2010 NZHRM, the day itself at Rocket was awesome and the weather got better for the trip home – more pics here, http://www.nz-hotrod.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=4789

The trip home was most special though as we were joined by Nigel Oliver and his wife Linda in there incredibly cool little black ’30 roadster that has a cool belly pan and outside headers. Three topless and similar styled roadsters was truly a sight you only think you would read about in Morty’s Hop Up Annual’s or The Rodders Journal. We had a special photo shoot here too.
