I'll be in Pismo that weekend camping at Pismo Coast Village and planning on picking up the new radiator from The Brass Works in Paso Robles for my '39 p/u. Don't know if I'll make it out to the sand for the races but I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of nice cars in town.

Hi Everyone, I saw this shot of Jayson's car in the Gallery on the TROG site that JM linked above.

Here's some videos: http://theraceofgentlemen.com/category/videos/

would like to see them have a race in the SOUTH. Ormand beach fl is where the beach racing started. the local antique club had similar races on the beach a few years ago, lot of hotels in the ormand-daytona area...

Tim Brown · 09-25-2016, 11:09 AM

I will be there spectating and motoring around in the roadster.

Kahuna · 09-25-2016, 07:04 PM

I'm so jealous, Tim
Larry told me a few of you are going.
Have a great time
Jim

Beach racing is attributed to Oromond Beach from 1903

And was soon occurring all around the US actually very early on.

Here is a photo from Galveston TX beach race around 1909

and 1913

Pismo Beach 1924

It was quite a big sport back in the day!

Hi Everyone. I guess I'm gonna have to be a square...

Things have come up on the homefront, so a Cali vacation just went off the table.

Have a ton of fun everyone, and keep the photos and posts coming!

Hello all, this should be a great event. Also, the Early Ford V8 Club Western National meet in Bakersfield during the week following should be fun as well. I live up in Northern CA, Specifically Windsor CA. About and hour North of San Fransisco on Hwy 101. Unfortunately , I can't make either event but I will be around town. It seems there will be quite a few people traveling through Northern CA or close. I am making an open offer to anyone who may need help, need a place to stop, or what ever while they are on the rode. I have a truck/trailer , a lift and quite a few parts. I will help however I can. Brendan who posted earlier is this thread also live is this are along with quite a few other car guys and we always welcome visitors. JM35 Sedan, if you want continue your CA trip, please give me a call or touch base with me on here or get a hold of Brendan or Tom Johnston and come on up to Northern CA. That goes for anyone else who wants to come visit who is a like minded car nut. Tom Johnston is leading a tour from the Western National meet back to Northern CA and I am sure anyone could tag along if they want. Between myself, Brendan ,other friends, and our V8 club members we can show you a good time.
Everyone have fun and don't hesitate to call if anyone has any troubles traveling to/from Pismo Beach or Bakersfield.

Got here this afternoon and set up the trailer. Saw a Model T and a 2 dr. sedan with a banger driving through the camp ground along with what I think is a 3 window parked a couple of rows over. Also a couple of nice later models down town near the pier. Can't wait for tomorrow for a better look. Hope the weather holds up.

GB SISSON · 10-13-2016, 10:33 PM

I don't have a 'bucket list'. Just TROG........

Hi Mike, thank you for posting this. Your offer to help folks out like this is a most generous offer and we sincerely thank you. Will give you a call when we get there.

old28 · 10-13-2016, 11:02 PM

Should be there Friday for the Camp Ground Trailer & Race Car Show, Way cool.

Looking forward to the races Sat & Sun. Hope to get some idea's for my TROG build.

VeryTangled · 10-14-2016, 05:47 PM

Hi Everyone. I just had a quick phone call with JM and his travelling accomplice. They're in the rental car heading to Pismo/Grover Beach. I'm with 'em in spirit.

51504bat · 10-14-2016, 07:41 PM

Walked the entire Pismo North campground where the registration is being held this afternoon. So many outstanding cars and M/C's. Bangers, flatties, and a little bit of everything else. Too many cool cars to photo with my crummy cell phone camera. I'm sure others will post some great photos. Did buy the obligatory t shirt, though.
