That time of the year for one of sweetest nostalgic events is just around the corner. The Race of Gentlemen presented by the Oilers CC will bring out the East Coast’s most adventurous hot rod and bike owners for three days of old school iron by the sea.
Check out this excerpt from the Oilers to get an idea of what this event is all about:
“Oilers Car Club proudly presents to you The 2014 Race of Gentlemen! Oilers CC / MC brings this invitation only race featuring a collection of pre-war (1920’s and 30’s) cars and motorcycles.
On the weekend of October, 3rd – 5th, a select group of gentlemen will race their machines on the shoreline in ‘The Wildwoods’.
Race fans hold onto your seats as these men battle for pole position against one another on our beaches like in days gone by. Early testing of mechanical machines were proven and beaten on beaches as it proved to be the safest straight away of the day. The races will all take place at the water’s edge on Wildwood Beach! Here is your chance to witness the wild ride in The Wildwoods!!!
Vintage motorcycles and automobiles will battle it out on the beach against the rising tides for your viewing pleasure. See high speed thrills, and mechanical machines being pushed to their limits. Early Moto Cycles from 1911 and automobiles as early as 1907 will put it all out there. Indians, Harley Davidsons, Excelciors, Ford, Dodge Brothers, will all be here. Roar at the shore!
Ladies and gentlemen, do not miss your chance to see these fine men flog their museum quality machines on our shores for your viewing pleasure. High speeds, high thrills!!!”
