DIGS AT E-TOWN Photos & Words by John McCartney
B
ack in the glory days of drag racing and the hot rod culture one thing was for sure, the drag strip was the place to be. Whether it was a Saturday or Sunday night you could always find all the cool cars and clubs at the local strip. It seemed everyone got a chance to hang out, talk cars, see who had the best looking or fastest ride. It was a happening place to be and the place to be seen. The pits were packed and the stands were filled and the racing seemed to go on forever. Well the Digs at E-Town is bringing that old school feel back. The Digs at E-Town is held at the Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ throughout the racing season. The 1/8th mile drag strip is one of the very few that has two complete drag strips that can be run at the very same time! Gassers, Hot Rods, Customs, Straight Axles,
