Anne Toews
Today, I take my hat off to Anne Toews for her solid performance return in her 69 N/SA Camaro after a hiatus since 1973 (information from Brian Lohnes). This 75 years "young" lady lost in third run of racing at the Epping Jegs Sportnationals.
Congratulations, |

Re: Anne Toews
Annie and Walter Toews lived at opposite end of Maple Rd. in West Milford, NJ from us for many years before Walt passed a few years ago. Lou Cuviello (bikes) was involved with them for years and the company name was LAW Automotive (small block Chevy Stock and S/S). LouAndWalt or LouAnnieWalt made up LAW. Maybe Billy Nees can set that straight!

75 is not Old!
It is the New 50! |
Re: Anne Toews
Walter Toews' Chevy II 100 sedan was one of the coolest race cars back in the day.

Re: Anne Toews
Anne was on the receiving end of the classiest sportsmanlike act I have ever seen at a race. Many saw it and commended the competitor. Anne is a great story in our sport. Congrats Anne .

Re: Anne Toews
I've known Anne since 1966.
We raced at Island Dragway and Lou, Anne and Walt were also racing there often. Had some good races over the years in various cars. Walt was often at the shop I worked at, Crow's Head Shop. We did some work for him and he used our machines sometimes to do some work. He built engines at home after his regular job. We were always pretty good friends and sometimes competitors. Anne has been running the Orange car pretty regularly the last couple months and has been doing a great job. Walt built the engine that's in that car and amazingly the car is all original Anne told me. I never saw that one and thought it was the white car but it is not. Their cars were always nice, well built and pretty fast. Sedan Deliveries, the Corvette, and later the early Nova's in SS and others. Todd, Billy and Tom Goldman also did some work on the orange car to get it out there. A Pretty cool story really and Walt would be happy I think for sure....He was a great guy and always smiling......We always had fun discussions and he was very smart and talented. I was watching the NED race some and thought it was real good how Brian Lohnes told the story and very accurately..... Racing is a great motivator and helps to keep us older folks going... Bravo Anne !!! |
