Event Coverage Oilers CC Present: "Race of Gentlemen"

Texas Speed , we have a location in Texas. Working on details now. This crap takes time. I'm busy trying to get some stuff in Jersey to stick.

I might skip a run in May. Most likely. We had two dates in two different cities lined up and they have fallen through. Running out of time to promote correctly. Racing has to happen before or after beach season. Memorial to Labor Day. So we are running out if time in spring. Count on October for sure.

I am trying to do a summer show. But the town gent I'm dealing with is in the hospital. So I'm pending. An all new show. If it works, it will be the best fun on two and four wheels!!! Stay tuned...

Mel, I got an idea for an event that was a past event here in Morris County back in the day that took place on Snake Hill Rd in Rockaway Twp. Im still doing research... Its still a dirt road and Im told they used to do timed runs on it in hot rods.. Will give you details as I find out more info.. Could be a cool event in the modern day.

 

I would be interested

 

Any new info on a date........or location

 

Pullmax ring any bells? Regards, Ron

 

Oh Ron! Quick change Ron. My mailbox was full.

I was working on my indian yesterday when my buddy whom stops every day shows up with my mail in his hand. And a six pack of cold beers!

What is he holding besides delicious high alcohol content beers? My advanced copy of The Rodders Journal.

For once, I've got the jump on you paperback collectors. All I can say is wow!!!

Thank you Curt Iseli and Mr. Steve Coonan. You made a dream come true.

Thank you to all the photographers that helped contribute too. See you in October for the second annual.

Looks great TJ!! Whens the Lobster bake this year?

 

I found and retrieved a recipient for the Salt Flats engine I bought a while back. 1931 Roadster Deluxe with a rumble seat. As luck would have it, there is already has a B block in it. Now I just need to get it ready for the RoG.....

Thoughts:

Needs to be lower. T spring in the rear 3" drop axle in the front
Leave the fenders
Needs 7.50 ww tires in rear, 5.50 ww in front - going to run '34 17" wire rims
Chop the top a bit?
Burns Dual carb intake with 81's
Unknown manufacturer dual exhaust (pic) with cutouts and side exhaust

I liked Mel's idea for a "gentlemen's car"

Any other ideas out there?

 

The 1st thing I would do is start a thread over on ford barn. Tell them all your plains just for fun

O and very nice car... See ya in the fall

 

I've already been thrashed over there before! Only so much time in this life, I'd rather be productive!

Can anyone identify the exhaust manufacturer in the 4th pic? Dual exhaust looks to be a cast mandfold.

 

The manufacturer was the farmer that did it. That's a home built Dual Exhaust.

I bet Bill (BCCHOPIT) will be showing you an example here in a few minutes! He built a nice one.

 

Thanks Elrod.....
That looks like some one took the hard way of making the manifold.

I am not the 1st to do it this way but this is what I made up for the Dust Bowl

 

Nice!

 

Your picture is hard to see the exhaust manifold, but I think I see welds at the top of the center down turn and on the flanges.... If not, that's pretty neat.

 

You may be right, I'll have to dig it out. Haven't looked at it in a while.

 

I hope to make it out this year!

 

I was thinking that it was braze but it must be rust

I bet there is not a lot of them around

 

Stan, very cool deluxe roadster. Get on it, October is coming quick! I can't ait to see it in person along with all of the other cars!

 

Whew! Might actually have a chance at getting this car done in time!

 

Whats News Mel? i ran into mike ( the ex State trooper withe the Munsters tattoos), he said the beach towns and other were all trying to get your gig into their towns. My Girl is actually asking about a May 4th event ( she stays out of my shop and cars generally, weird, right?)

I'm getting my B powered miller OHV 31 roadster together.... thinking paddle tires...sand....

 

Sweet find. Everything sounds good to me, personally I would not go that extreme on the big and little's. Cant wait to see her finished.

 

I am open to ideas Pat. What would you run in the front.
