    What the heck does TROG stand for...tried looking it up online and in HAMB threads but luck finding a meaning.

    The Race Of Gentlemen. It's a race held on the Jersey shore in October.It's put on by the Oilers club and they are very selective about the cars and bikes that are allowed to enter.It' s a very cool event that seems to get better every year.The vehicles are incredible.

    Jersey will be a part of the US long after y'all break off the left side and sink into the Pacific :D

    Funny, I new what the Race Of Gentleman was for a while. A year or so ago though it took me a month or more to figure out what guys were talking about when using the acronym TROG. I felt like a dweeb.

    Which is probably WHY California will physically break off at the San Andreas fault and sink into the abyss :D

    A TROG would be one member of the TROGGS, a band from the 60s that had a hit song called "Wild Thing":D

    This hobby seems to have Trends? , or cycles every 50 years? Would TROG style build, the thing, for a few years to come?

    Anytime, jerseyboy!

    Unfortunately, the '22 490 Chevrolet sprinter will have to wait until next year, but I can't wait 'till then :D

    55willys, WA will be just fine, it's CA that will sink into the murky depths, just CA :)
