The Hot Rod Hundred is designed to bring back something that has been missing for the last few decades…..driving. The SWMO Hot Rod Hundred will be a drive that is off of the beaten path of everyday travel, for most folks. We'll drive on two lane state highways, cruise through some small towns, and have some rest stops along the way, so we can admire each other's cars and regroup.
Don’t want to drive your precious hot rod or custom that far? Maybe this event isn’t for you. This event embraces road chips and bug guts as a badge of honor. Go a hundred or go home………..
The "Starting Location" will be the Willard Community Center, 222 W Jackson St, Willard, MO. The ending with a lunch and a few awards being handed out at the Crane City Park.
Due to the number of registered cars expected this year, it's highly probable that stopping places along the route will not accommodate all of us to gather at one time. This is actually a good thing, as it will allow participants to stop when they want/need to along the way, for bio-breaks, fuel, etc.
PLEASE NOTE - There are a few specific changes to the registrations for 2024 due to the logistics of the event:
There will be wristbands for lunch this year. Also, this is a DRIVING event, not a car show, so do not show up at the Crane Park before 11:00.
The focus of the event will be for cars and trucks 1964 and older. (If you participated in the prior events, you are still welcome!)
All pre-registration entries must be postmarked by March 22nd, 2025 to receive the event T-shirt. You may still register after March 22nd, but the T-shirt will not be included.
The organizers may choose to cap the number of registered participants accepted based on the final route chosen.
