I didn't see anything I would consider a Rat Rod, these are some nice cars!!

30-9 · 07-04-2015, 06:52 PM

Very nice and brave - no way I'd take my cars in all that salt water - but that's just me

JSeery · 07-04-2015, 07:26 PM

I was thinking the same thing, that salt water would be tough on the cars!

49fordv8f4 · 07-04-2015, 07:50 PM

Nice cars! I noticed most were LH drive.

Hi Everyone, Really cool rolling car show!

They were all race cars, or at least entered in a race. Any class including V, 8, and F, was a flathead V8.

http://vhra.co.uk/VHRA/Pendine_Sands.html Shows class records.

I can imagine they won't get any cleaner after they get to wide open throttle.

Ralph Moore · 07-05-2015, 12:11 PM

Very nice! I'm surprised there were so many cars, most of the traditional hot rod design.
I really did like the polished brass speedster, that was neat looking.

FlatheadTed · 07-05-2015, 03:42 PM

Wow There's some cool machines there ,Keeping the hobby alive in one form or another ,Ted1

It's not just you... It's me too. I can almost feel the paint bubbling and blistering in all the folds and seams. Oh the humanity.

mercman from oz · 07-06-2015, 01:54 AM

Hi Mike, That is neat, but how do you prevent the car from rusting after driving it on the beach? Surely, it has to be bad for the car?

Bassman/NZ · 07-06-2015, 02:48 AM

No different than putting your car on the salt at Bonneville.

Talkwrench · 07-06-2015, 05:54 AM

Hell yes!

The first car, the T modified is the leader in the unblown flathead roadster class. It ran somewhere around 105 I think.

I ran 99.8 and came 3rd in the same class. (I think).

That was shot as the cars were driving into the pits through the public car park, and probably by a member of the public, hence, I would assume, the somewhat misuse of the rat rod monicker.

That's me at 3:21 in No.47 (RHD).

The 124 roadster pickip at 11.26 took top speed of the meet at 116 mph, after a lot of fettling by owner Matt Farrant.

That is way cool and fun to watch, forwarded it on to several friends, thanks for posting. It really makes one want a car in that style...!

Henry Hopper · 07-06-2015, 11:48 AM

99.8....jeez Mart how close can you get.....

We don't drive them into the water. The bad thing is you will keep finding sand, in your car, for ever, no matter how many times you clean it.
Any more, they don't even let car shows, on the beach. The big hotels don't like beach driving, in front of their hotels, so now, the politicians are against it too. It might become a thing of the past.
