Event Coverage The Race of Gentlemen, 2nd Annual 2013

I think my "tail section" might be just a little bit lighter.....

 

I don't know, that's a heavy looking license plate!

I have a "digger" set of rear tires like those. I wonder if they're the secret to hooking up well on the sand..

Sweet Ride TNA!

 

Just booked my room today be there Thursday evening till Sunday morning... Can't wait to check this out in person!

That looks like a lot of FUN!!!!
Is it a pain in the ass to shift? I am thinking the sifter is between your legs.

Yup, between the legs. Its not to bad to shift. I built the car around me so if I gain any weight or if someone else tries to drive it things might get a little weird.

 

Mel
I was down the woods this week, I saw alot of advertisments for other shows in Oct but not your shin dig? you need to plaster the boardwalk with some cool posters, especially with the rod runs & bike week coming up.
Paul

 

i think word of mouth has it covered

 

Hey Paul ole buddy!!!

We will be down there for the Roar to the Shore bike show. Set up with a roadster and my Indian. Passing out flyers, selling Tshirts, and hopefully making friends.

Wildwood said they would get the word out down there at there car shows.

There is a big banner going up soon at the entrance too.

Hope to see you pal!

The race starting line begins at the Morey Piers Ferris wheel. 660 feet is is the finish line which is right at the wooden roller coaster. How bout that, like it was meant to be!

Those are just the start and finish markers, as we are down at the waters edge.

Waiting on the tires and building the exhaust. Then it's the shake down test.

 

Hey Mel! Two things,
I need to get b&w pix of the a to you, dropped the ball there but ill get on it.
I got a good friend with a 30 model a pick up with original tow truck rig. He will drive it down, wants to know if you can use for a prop. Very nice patina.ill get you a pic of it, think you'll be happy with it.
The other thing I forgot.

Cheers!

On the ground for the first time. Got the tires mounted today.

 

Very Cool!!!!
I like the race tires in the back

Correct me if I'm wrong. The tires on back are dirt bike tires, right?

 

Yes they are 19"

 

Such a cool little hot rod TJ, looking forward to seeing it in person.

 

Looking good!! Spot on for the beach!!

 

Awesome cars guys!! Keep posting those pics!!

 

What do you guys think about the exhaust location. Should it exit in front of the doors or behind. I'll be using 1935/36 inner drive shaft.

 

My vote is in front. That thing is slick!

 

Hey Mel, I was just down in Wildwood this weekend and I didn't see any ads but the old battle axe was telling me she 's been getting emails daily from Moreys Piers for the event....

In front for sure!

 

looking good Nills!!

 

Almost done. The fuel pump is getting moved to the drivers side inner rail . Almost had a little misshap. Gas and hot pipes don't mix.

 

kickass, TJ!! I'm a little behind... but I'll catch up!

 

Yea baby, its gonna be a HOOT! Wait until you see the huge blister I'm about to hammer into the top to clear the carbs!

 

Anybody giving any thought to a dually wheel set up i the back to better deal with the sand?? I know its a popular deal for UK hillclimbers.

 

That's a super cool t roadster , what's under the hood.
