2016 TROG - THE RACE OF GENTLEMEN

The Race of Gentlemen in 2016 was the fifth annual 3-day event and I had never heard of it! I live just an hour from Wildwood, NJ and thought that I was well informed on car and boat happenings in my area. TROG participants come from all over America and Canada. A person standing next to me was a German who drove from Detroit to see this rare spectacle. It has become so popular that the first Annual TROG West will be run this year in California!  I could only attend Saturday, so the 40 photos on this page only give a small taste of the excitement.

I attended with my two gearhead "kid" brothers (I am the old guy with the red shirt)


Wildwood has one of the widest sand beaches on the Jersey Shore

Many classics, customs and hot rods are on display, some for sale

I once owned a '39 Mercury coupe, but it didn't look like this one!

I was fascinated with the detail on this 5-window coupe



An untouched original woody - except for the "Port-o-Walls"

We came for the races and were only disappointed with the limited view. They need to fix that next year!















The women racers garnered a lot of applause

This Harley panel truck led a pack of racers back to the finish line and pits after about 20 matches. If needed, a Hemmings tow truck was ready to help.








Only vintage cars of 1934 or older are permitted to enter races (motorcycles ?)
