The Race of Gentlemen is a popular traditional hot rod and early motorcycle drag race originally held on the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey. In the past couple years the race has expanded to be held in several different places on the west coast. This time, TROG was held at Flabob Airport in Riverside, California. The historic venue and early hot rods made for a very cool experience. It was great to see a lot of out of state hot rods competing in the drag race. This video features some highlights from the pre1964 car show, as well as footage from the return road and the pits. Thanks to the organizers of TROG for coming out from the east coast to host this very cool event.
