Drivers from across the country will put their skills to the test in Stratford.
Egmont Rod and Custom Club committee member Cody Bibby says the skills event complements the public viewing event during the club's American Graffiti Rod Run.
The event takes place from October 28 to October 30, with 90 customs cars set to cruise Taranaki roads.
"On the Friday the custom cars and hot rods will drive the main street before parking on Miranda Street for the public to come view. Due to congestion problems we've changed where the cars will park to ensure everyone can view them safely. This event is for the community and we want to make it as safe as possible.
"We're now also able to confirm there will be tours of Stratford's clocktower available during the public viewing."
