There's a car that looks like this in the middle of the town of Bloomsbury, NJ. It sits next to a garage and has been there awhile. Next time I pass there I'll try to get a picture. It's a frame, body and front end and the wheels look similar. |

I was a regular at the Old Bridge drags in the mid sixties. The car doesn't look familiar and those trophies look pretty old. I looked at a photo of my car with some trophies and they look nothing like the ones pictured so I'm thinking this car raced early sixties or late fifties. I forget when they started drags there. I think Flemington only ran a few years. Here's a link to the only video I've ever seen of the drags. Mostly slow cars. The Chevy rag top if I remember was a 300 hp 327. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBx2qGA6d3I |

Englishtown is in Old bridge Township.The video that was shown is this early Englishtown? Went to Englishtown drags a couple of times. The team I went with ended up in victory lane and received a Wally. |

The video provided is from the Old Bridge Speedway, with the cars drag racing down what looks like was the frontstretch of the oval. I never saw drag races there (saw one oval track race just before they closed in the late 60's. |
