The Wildwoods celebrate American racing heritage during "The Race of Gentlemen" Vintage Car & Motorcycle Beach Drag Races ~ October 4-6

PRESS RELEASE

THE WILDWOODS - Experience the exciting thrill of drag racing on the beach during "The Race of Gentlemen" (TROG) Vintage Car & Motorcycle Beach Drag Races, an automotive spectacle that celebrates American racing heritage and is an homage to automobile and motorcycle history - Friday, October 4 through Sunday, October 6.

Shultz & Son Productions presents "The Race of Gentlemen," which features pre-1934 cars and pre-1947 motorcycles racing along the water's edge on the Wildwoods' spacious beaches.

"The Race of Gentlemen," or TROG for short, is a one-of-a-kind event that brings together the finest vintage vehicles and their fearless drivers for a thrilling display of speed, skill and style. Feel the rumble of the engines and the excitement in the air as participants push their classic machines to the limit.

The popular event pays tribute to a style of racing that evokes a bygone era, when hand-built, pre-WWII cars and motorcycles were pieced together in backyards and garages, then tested and proven in races on the flat stretches of hard sand of the beach, closest to the water's edge.

The return of TROG in the Wildwoods will feature thrilling, non-stop, exhibition-style beach racing, live music, a kids' area, food and beer vendors, and much more. 

Marvel at the meticulously restored vehicles, chat with the passionate owners, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this unique gathering.

On Thursday, October 3, a swap meet and TROG Kick Off Party will be held at 8 am at Jersey Girl Kitchen & Bar, located at 3601 Atlantic Avenue.

On Friday, October 4, the swap meet continues at Jersey Girl Kitchen & Bar from 8 am to 6 pm. Friday night will feature a Night of the Troglodyte Party (location and time TBD).

Saturday, October 5 is Race Day, which features vintage auto and motorcycle races on the beach. Gates open at 9 am and racing begins around 10 am. A post-race beach party will be held at PigDog Beach Bar BBQ, located at Morey's Piers' Mariner's Pier at 3501 Boardwalk, featuring live music and a bonfire on the beach. 

More beach racing takes place on Sunday, October 5, with gates opening at 9 am and races beginning at 10 am. Don't miss the Gentlemen going head-to-head for the championship. Bracket racing begins late morning, once the machines warm up.
