Jason Heintz just put together a three-part series on his brother-in-law Emilio’s 2008 season. It includes their Pinks All Out win, 1320x Lebanon Valley Dragway and Mopars At The Patch Event at Island Dragway. Oh, and some great tunes, too! We’ll be following the 9SecondDuster again in 2009, too, so stay tuned!

Lowdown Celsior
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
When I think about VIP I immediately think about the Toyota GS series, but there are other Toyota’s that are just as impressive. This Toyota LS or Celsior as it is called in Japan was build by Job Design, together with Aimgain they are on the forefront of VIP styling. Expect to see more of these kind of cars this month.
PS, the wheels used on this car are made by Work and are called the Schwert SC1.

Pro Street Toyota Starlet on Craigslist
By Brian Lohnes

Man, we saw this little guy and started drooling. It’s a Toyota Starlet with a bad-ass cage, all the tin work done, and just needing a motor and transmission to terrorize the land.
Sure it’s tiny, and probably would score a -175 on a comfort scale of 1 to 10, but it would definitely turn some heads. The miniscule wheelbase may also make it turn some donuts on the track, but in reality a fairly mild small-block with a snoot of nitrous would make this thing haul buckets of ass.
Maybe you’re under 5’8” tall and want to go on Drag Week, this is the little rice bowl for you. These cars are as rare as hen’s teeth on the east coast as they were made from magical evaporating steel when new. As the old joke goes, you could scrape some of the paint off and still see the Budweiser labels.
Someone out there…do it. Here’s the ad.

I’m not a huge fan of the 789, but the Anteros by N2A Motors looks pretty good. What do you think?
