My name is Anthony Raimondi, but most people know me as Chip.  I am 25 years old and have been into drifting for about 7 years.  I am from New Jersey and started drifting early on when events started out locally at Englishtown.  I decided to give drifting a try with my stock 240sx.  I thought it was the coolest thing you could do with a car and seemed much more fun than drag racing.  I drove a few events, talked to a few people who knew about setting up a car, and got some advice on what to do to my car.  Over the next few years I went from doing small suspension modifications and such to eventually a complete car build.

Over the past two years I have progressed faster than ever before and continue to do so at each event and every time I drive.  There are always things to learn and to improve upon and always new things to pick up.  I love driving in different events with drivers from across the country and of course from Canada.  Being able to drive with all types of drivers and driving styles is one of the biggest keys of drifting.  I am looking forward to 2011 as my most exciting season yet, with more traveling, more tracks I have not yet been to and some tracks that I will be re-visting.
