New Zealand Hot Rod Association

The club describes its mission as: encouraging and enhancing its members participation and enjoyment of safe Hot Rodding and its related activities, to foster the development, achievement and success gained through involvement with unique and individual automobiles and, in doing so, positively promoting the sport of Hot Rodding to those outside of our organisation.

[2][3] The NZRHA organises annual hot rod shows in association with member clubs.

[7] At the instigation of NZHRA President Tony Johnson, the Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association (Inc) (LVVTA) was formed.

The object was to allow hot rodding to continue and while at the same time provide a means to comply with changing motor vehicle safety measures.

[8] In a response to the Covid-19 lockdowns preventing static displays of custom cars and hotrods, Dean Taylor of the NZHRA associated Te Awamutu Rod and Custom Club suggested a series of rolling hot rod shows throughout the country in May 2020.
