GREENLANE, Auckland, New Zealand – With just under two months away before the 2012 NZHRA 50th Anniversary National Hot Rod Show displays some of the finest hot rods and street machines New Zealand has to offer there are three major sponsorship announcements to be made. The show is in conjunction with the CRC Speedshow 21-22 July at the ASB Showgrounds and it is a celebration of 50 years of hot rodding in New Zealand under sanctioning of the New Zealand Hot Rod Association (NZHRA). Hosted by Harbour City Rod Club (Glen Eden) and Southside Streeters (Howick), the members of each club have successfully attracted businesses to sponsor three significant awards while offering a larger target audience which the CRC Speedshow attracts.

 

Protecta Classic Insurance has sponsored the People’s Choice award which is voted by the public visiting the show. Protecta are a relatively new classic and specialist car insurer with staff who are enthusiasts themselves. “The synergy we have with our clients and ourselves as enthusiasts is a key aspect of the business. Being part of the 50th Anniversary National Show, strengthens our alliance within the industry and we are very proud to be a part of this special event”, says Colin Marshall, marketing manager of Protecta Classic Insurance.

 

Frosted Glass by Design has sponsored the coveted Sweepstakes award for the highest ranked show car in the judging procedure. “The 50th Anniversary National Show was a perfect opportunity for Frosted Glass by Design to support a sport that is an integral part of family life for many. We are proud to be associated with an event that showcases family involvement”, says Sean Williams, managing director of Frosted Glass.

 

Rocket Speed Equipment has appropriately sponsored the Best Nostalgia Award. The Hamilton based company have built a reputation on a wide variety of vehicles that have created a stir on the New Zealand rodding scene. Their roots have come from traditional or nostalgia themed vehicles and its very fitting to have their name on this award. “It’s great to be part of the 50th Anniversary show and being aligned with the Nostalgia Award is great for our business however we build all kinds of hot rods, race cars and street machines”, says Dan Tyler of Rocket Speed Equipment.

 

The generous support of these three businesses shows the attraction of the 2012 NZHRA 50th Anniversary National Hot Rod Show incorporated with the larger audience of the CRC Speedshow.
