We attended as spectators last year and it was the catalyst for getting a Flathead in the first place. To enter you must have a 1947 or older American made bike, tank shift, cars have to be even older. Check the website for the rules. I had not mentioned it here until I was sure my bike would make the cut to race on the sand. It is an informal event, no AMA Vintage racing for sure, but a lot of fun. So we will be there in October. The bike in race trim:





That picture is form last month when we put our entry into the organizers. My wife hand painted the numbers, they came out really cool. Couple of other things done since then, in particular a rear pipe hanger. Not expecting to be the fastest, just hoping not to be the slowest. They had some badass Knuckles running the sand last year, not sure if my Twin Cam would keep up with them.

This is going to be fun........


Awsome! Beautiful bike you have there.
Yes,you're gonna love it i bet !

We are getting closer to the RACE, getting excited and anxious. The people that run the race put a booklet together with pictures of all the entrants, vehicle and head shot. If you are interested, here is the link to their FB page:

The organizers have posted several times, we Race rain or shine.

Loading bike Thursday night, in the rain, then driving to the "Swamps of Jersey" on Friday, in the rain. Hoping Saturday and Sunday will be more favorable.
