Classic hot rods and trucks to thunder through Burnham-On-Sea today

Almost 80 classic American hot rods, trucks and classic vehicles will thunder through Burnham-On-Sea on Saturday lunchtime (September 22nd) in a mass convoy for charity.

The Blue Ridge Runners will be moving through the town at around 12.30pm in a procession through Highbridge, then into Burnham via Burnham Road and Marine Drive, passing along the seafront.

"With horns blaring and a long line of vehicles on show, the procession is sure to attract scores of interested onlookers," a spokeswoman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

The vehicles will be on display at the Classic, Custom and American Auto Show throughout Sunday (September 23rd) from 10am in a field along the A38 between Pawlett and West Huntspill. This year's event is raising money for BARB (Burnham Area Rescue Boat).

The Blue Ridge Runners were formed in 1989 to link up motoring enthusiasts from across the South West who own hot rods, trucks and other unusual vehicles. Thousands of pounds are raised for local charities from the group's events.
