Chopped Rod & Custom Show 2010 Oct 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Australia’s only traditional Hot Rod, Dirt Drag & Kustom Kulture Music Festival. Hot Rods and hard rock will collide for the largest Australian dirt drag race, which will see pre-1965 style custom-made cars roll into Victoria from around Australia for a three-day festival, Chopped. Taking place an hour and a half north of Melbourne, Chopped is a unique cultural experience similar to that of being thrown back to a 1950s and 60s Hop Up Carnavale. Thousands of fans from around the country will experience a mix of traditional style hot rods, custom cars and bobber & chopper motorcycles. Two-lane old-style dirt drags will run throughout the show, with entrants running head-to-head in or on their rides.
