Welcome... to the home page of Capital Rodders Inc

Capital Rodders hot rod club is based in Wellington, New Zealand. It is one of the oldest, largest and most active hot rod clubs in Wellington. With a wide variety of vehicles, from rat rods to drag cars, street or strip, old or new, budget rods to award winning hot rods, we have it all and our club members are pretty active in the rodding scene, often getting best represented club at events.

We have club meetings on the last Tuesday of every month at our club rooms, right next to the boat ramp on Onepoto Road, Porirua. Meetings start at 7.30pm, but you may find members are there earlier to check out recent runs or drags on our big screen. If you are interested in joining, come along and introduce yourself even if you are still planning on building or buying a hot rod. For more information click here.

Check out the coming events calendar, which is updated about once a month. If you are from a rod club in the lower North Island area and would like your event posted on our page then just email the details to us.

Capital Rodders is an Incorporated club affiliated to the New Zealand Hot Rod Association

Events

Capital Rodders runs two key events each year - the Swap Meet and the Guide Dog fun run. These are both major events on the Wellington rodding calendar, enjoyed by everyone that attends.

The Capital Rodders General Metal Recyclers annual Swap Meet and Vehicle Display is held in May. This event has established itself as one of the 'must go' swap meet events on the annual calendar, with lots of awesome cars on display, car parts stalls, auto memorabilia and many happy customers.

The Guide Dog annual mystery run is held in September with lots of fun and heaps of prizes up for grabs. We have been running this successful event since 2005. For more info see the Calendar below.

2024 Guide Dog Fun Run

Thanks to everyone that came out to support the 19th annual Capital Rodders Guide Dog Fun Run on Sunday 15 September 2024. It's always such a popular event on the Wellington calendar.

Capital Rodders is delighted to advise that we raised $3,330 for Blind Low Vision from the 19th Guide Dogs Fun Run. We thank all sponsors for their generosity, to those who came on the day which made it a great event, and to those who bid for auction items, bought raffles, or made donations. Well done. It now means we have raised over $36,600 over the nineteen years.

Please support our sponsors...
