XP54 ripping rubber 🏁💨

The XP 54 (1954 Corvette Experimental) is Rob’s nod to Duntov’s mule, the prototype that proved a V8 belonged where nobody expected one yet. Rob took that ghost of an idea and gave it a body, a soul, and a reason to floor that gas pedal down to the metal.

Hand-built for one reason: to race at .r.o.g._official on the Wildwood beach. This thing was made to get sideways in the wet sand at sunrise, and eat asphalt on the track when the tide rolls back.🏁💨

Hello folks… here is some winning info for you! This year… we decided it was better to control the parking lots with killer cars. In years past, we scramble to ask folks in “new “ cars visiting Trog or Wildwood itself to flee! Makes the cool scene look square man!!! 😜 So, while we have had control of our “Street Pits” area, where you see all the race stuff early… We now have secured more, and surrounding lots… for customs, low riders, classics, and hot rods. We will park these cars in the lots on Thursday and Friday…. You are welcome to leave the cars when you go to the races on Sat/Sunday. We are collecting cars in this process to have a serious Traditional custom car show on the sands, in the infield during the races! These killers, are stacking up!!! So… reserve a space in the streets where we constantly hang! Submit to the email at the bottom of the poster. [email protected] We will review, and be in touch! Seen in the Wildwoods… Oct 1-2-3-4, 2026
