> 28 The Hamilton Hot Rod Club 60th
Anniversary. Back in 1959, a group of Hamilton
teenagers decided to form a hot rod club. Auckland Hot
Rod Club had just been formed, so Barry Westmore, Vern
Wilson, Bob Comer, Don Roy, Brian Thexton and Peter
Olsen met one Sunday and formed the second hot rod
club in New Zealand. They had their first meeting at Brian
Thextons’ parents’ house. A tag-along 13-year-old kid who
liked old cars also turned up. His name was Graham ‘Cub’
Roberts. Graham is still a member of Hamilton Hot Rob
Club today. If you have the time to celebrate with us on
28th September, please make contact with us. We have
a little rod run planned for part of the day. In the evening
we’re meeting at the Classic Car Museum in Frankton for a
get together to remember those friendships and the clubs’
journey through 60 years. We’re also looking for any old
pictures of the early years of HHRC and those stories that
still make you laugh or cry some 60 years on. Come and
tell us those stories in person; we’d love to hear from you.
