    Small Town Brewery is one of the sponsors of The Race of Gentlemen and they offered up two trips for two to the event. To enter the contest, you just had to post a photo (on Instagram) that reminds you of 'Small Town Roots'. They picked two winners early last week and I happened to be one of them!

    I usually don't enter contests like these, because I just ***ume that I won't win. Well, this time it worked out.

    I've never made it out to New Jersey for the Race. Now, I am very thankful for this opportunity to go.
    My friend, Jason is going along - we arrive on Friday afternoon.
    I'm really looking forward to this and hope to see/meet a bunch of you out there!

    If I can do it on my phone, I'll update this thread with photos this weekend.

    See ya at TROG!

    -Nick

    You are going to have a blast man... I went last year completely prepared to make fun of ridiculous hipsters dressed in costume while going 30mph on the beach. I left realizing that it was the best car event I have EVER gone too... No ****.

    How could I forget the photo(s)!?

    So, I entered two photos, for good measure. I have no idea which one they selected as a 'winner'. You can be the judge of that.

    It should go without saying, but I did take both photos. The old Texaco station was from three years ago and the diner photo was about five years ago. Both here in Omaha, about eight blocks from each other.

    (sorry about the low resolution)

    Had to be the first one. That's the winnar....... Second pic is awesome but the first one is so much more in all the wrong ways. I could be wrong though, its never happened before but there's always a first time.

    Have a blast on your trip and we expect pix, not like the first one if you can help it.
