Description

Experience the thrill of drag racing on the beach during The Race of Gentlemen (TROG) Vintage Car and Motorcycle Beach Drag Races, an automotive spectacle that celebrates American racing heritage and is an homage to automobile and motorcycle history.

Stultz & Son Productions presents TROG, which features pre-1934 cars and pre-1947 motorcycles racing along the water's edge on the Wildwoods’ spacious beaches.

TROG 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.

This 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.

There will be exhibition-style beach racing, live music, a kids’ area, food, and beer vendors, and more.

• 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.
