While searching for some news to post, I came across this story of a track that has long passed away. Hope you find it interesting.


Here is a link to the full story.

nice story about this long gone speedway............


 


it would be relistic to think that at 1 time there was 3 tracks in the 70s that are closed today........ weissglass, freeport, and islip.......   freeport became a caldors which eventully folded....... and islip became a cookie factory,,,,,,, a haven for the cookie monsters out there. lol

Great story.... who'd a thunk we'd reach the day when the amount of Northeastern short tracks that've closed down would outnumber the ones that still remain in operation...  Cuz of my project, I appreciate that story just little bit more....


Good Stuff
