Real quick, I just wanted to post up this video that I just watched on my friend Freddy’s Myspace page. Freddy and his crew are from New Jersey, and they’re into old school Toyotas. Check out this amateur “home video” that I got from Freddy’s Myspace, which shows some pretty awesome and FAST Toyota drag monsters from the East Coast. The footage is from E-town… aka “Old Bridge Township Raceway Park” for Jersey representers who are familiar with the official name.
I love watching these old school Toyotas show the newer cars what’s up!!! The first time I ever saw cars like this in action was in 1999, when I visited Atco Raceway with my friend Dale. Since then, I’ve only been to drag events with old school Toyotas a few times, but I can’t wait to get back and see more.
Much respect to everyone out on the east coast giving the west coast draggers a run for their money! Privateer teams, pro draggers, and enthusiasts, Speed Lounge crew, Toyminator, and Eat Sleep Race… the east coast has heart!
