Long Island had several tracks way back.. |

There was one in Freeport and Islip. Both of those were dirt and then paved as small bull rings. Islip also had an 1/8 mile drag strip. The Vanderbilt Motor Parkway was first a road race track for the rich. Bridgehampton was world class as a road track. There were at least two other drag strips. One was/is in West Hampton and the other was National Speedway. There is still another Winston Cup bull ring in Riverhead but most of the tracks have had to move aside for shopping malls and condos. I'm sure I missed some and I know they used to race on an old landing field out here too but much of this was before my time. I never heard of the wood tracks. An interesting thing I will have to research.
Thanks. |
