Back to the Beach! (Beach racing in Jersey in January???)


Pete's Hillclimber

Mel's Place

Pete's Wall-O-Death Scout


I still love Tommy's van...

Tommy's car and Pete's Climber

SWEET '39!








Under the hood of the '39




Finally back at the beach!!!




Goin' fast standin' still...

Mel

Not sure what's happening here...



Oz trying to start Mel's Indian...ha ha


It's gonna be a long uphill push...


...oops they dropped it...

At least it "shit the bed" after we were done ripping up the beach...

My '41 Hydra-Bob on the jetty...

Back at Mel's... Joe Oz's Indian in the background...

Nice rim Mel...no he didn't do it on the beach...


Mel...dreaming of the barrel...

Got a call from Mel last week to see if I was available to run the beach this weekend...Fuck Yeah! A film crew wanted to shoot the Oilers over at Mel's doing their thing and get some beach racing footage...No problem! I loaded up at around 06:30 this AM and headed for Jersey. We fucked around at Mel's for a while and then Hot Rodded over to the beach...Mel on his Indian, me on my '41 Hydra-Bob and a bunch of Hot Rods. Pete brought my WLDR in his trailer. It was dry and in the 50's...Mel must have a weather connection...hell T.R.O.G. was in late October and it was T shirt weather now it was January and it was in the upper 50's!
Me, Mel and Tommy ran the beach and had a blast! Pete's wife took a bunch of pic's and video that she's gonna send me. The pic's above are what I was able to get...mostly with my sweet Flip Phone...
