1980 Englishtown Truck Nationals...I was there with my dad and couple friends. Lots of fun, especially the Jet powered K-Whopper!!

[@erichb4021]

That RL700L Phantom 309 I remember that truck he use to haul steel out of the Midwest! It was powered by a Caterpillar and 13spd. The Truck was around for a couple years ago it rotted away after being restored once they finally cut it up and parted it out.

Wel-don concrete is still in business. So is RW Smith. Thank you for the upload. This is awesome

[@andrewharris169]

Thank you for the kind comment - made my day! Even though I made the film around 40 years ago, I still remember the sounds, the smells and, above all, the really great people. MotorhomeAndy in London, England.

That Mystic White setback axle tractor, at 12:32, is one RARE bird. Awesome video!

[@bananaphone1999]

Its awesome to see that RW Smith truck still racing

[@J1Jingleimerschmidt]

Nice job on the film. What a joy to watch. I'd think even the scraps on the cutting room floor would be gold today. Try and find that many cowboy hats in New Jersey now!

Any ideas how they checked the hp at the track? Did they have a chasis dyno there?

[@lilgryphon29]

Do you remember the guys name near the end of the film. I believe it says Shipley?
