Event Coverage The Race of Gentlemen, 2nd Annual 2013

You got me stumped? I don't even remember a 603 coupe.

The 603 coupe belongs to Eli English. I'm not sure if he's on here or not but he could certainly reproduce that chop at his shop in NH (traditional speed and custom). I'm also sure he would answer any questions you have either via phone or facebook.

 

That calendar is boss!

My buddy Hollywood just sent me this pic from a French magazine.

Here Hollywood is giving it all he's got to try and catch Mike in his banger powered single seater. Killer !

Via More Than More> "From the moment I saw the first photos of the Race of Gentlemen in 2012 I instantly knew I wouldn’t be able to pass up such an opportunity if it came around again. Traditional hotrods, on a beach, racing in the surf, if that doesn’t sound like a great experience I don’t know what does."

B. C. Chopit on the Hamb!!!

Great pics. Love that last one of the coupe with the seagull just staring. Neat!

That's my buddy on that Pan. Fast bike. I told all those guy no helmets like that. It's amazing when your so busy that this stuff flies right by you.

I did catch him and through it to the side.

Then, a sportster popped out of a van somehow and wound up at the starting line??? Wtf!!! Luckily he never got off and I scolded the van gang, other friends of course.

Anyway, cool pics! Missing all of you guys. Winter sucks. I want to be on that beach.

Count Me In!

So far the ASPCA has denied my application for a temporary "Big Cat Permit", so the Sidecar Lions may be a No Go!

 

Would love to come back. Are you looking for different cars than what we brought this year. Do you not want repeat cars?


Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

Nothing is a definite! We want new entries, or new builds.

So many guys build cars just for the Trog and keep us updated with their builds, keeping us all in anticipation for the big day. These guys always get in for their efforts.

I would consider a repeat car if it has major upgrades or changes, but no promises. Really, it is all up in the air until the entries start to pour in and we snag the best applicants. So if you would like to ensure your entry, I'd go for it! Get building!

I'd love to tell you all what I'm working on, but it doesn't always happen and I hate to mislead you if it doesn't work the way I wish. Big plans though for 2014.

I'm waiting for a certain somebody to get back from a far away land. We have spoke about some future ideas that I would like to get started on, If this should work, the Trog is going to get real interesting each year. Keep ya posted!

 

Damn the anticipation! I am hoping to have my '38 Standard Coupe complete for the ROG, will have a 331 caddy, so i'll have to settle for running around town and not on the beach. Still awesome though. Looking forward to hearing about the 2014 plans!

 

start of next years car.



Edit: hopefully!

You can do it...
What's the pain for the engine.

Cyclone headed model a. Ignition by Mallory, old two carb intake that I believe is a tornado.

Mel, You really have got people inspired! Before this build gets rolling are there any safety items that need to be built into a TROG car? My plan it to have a period correct T Bobtail. Merry Christmas! Bob http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=848959

 

Guess I should throw mine in the mix...a supercharged 41Ford truck banger. It what I'm not sure yet. Either a T modified or a 29 roadster

Here's the motor
Clark

 

Sounds real cool dude! Is there a build thread or do you have any pics of the car and engine?


Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

No build thread yet but hopefully soon! Still collecting parts and working on chassis.

 

Here we go
