how many miles onthe engine?

 

**** I need a damn ecu! my haltech is shot! wut jay! it's bino jesse's boy. i 'm in need of microtech and I will be there.

 

didnt they close this track...i heard they sold it to developers..

 

Supposedly it was rebuilt 40k ago. Chassis has 157k on it.

 

i would be careful, its very easy to wreck your car on that oval.... not for the inexperienced

 

You're thinking of either the Westhampton Speedway or perhaps even the Bridgehampton track.
(sad to think LI let the US's first purpose built drag track and first purpose built road course get mowed under)
Is Riverhead Raceyway still a dirt track or did they finally pave it?

 

it's paved but kinda gangsta if you ask me. I wish they approved the yaphank site. damn politics!

 

You shoulda seen Bridgehampton back in the day, my dad used to pit crew for Carroll Shelby.

 

To answer some questions

Its not just oval, and if you're smart, you warm up on the infield before attempting a corner.. the first day i went the a guy didnt warm up and instead of taking the infield he tried to drift the first corner he went into withou a warm up cruise lap or nothing, and go figure, he smashed right into a wall.

hopefully i'll see some people there

thats cool. how far back are you talking about?

 

[QUOTE=GAMBEAN]We're talking real old school 60's when Shelby was actually still driving, my Dad he was completely nuts.
Alot people would do the whole picnic basket and blanket thing and watch from atop one of the dunes.
Bridgehampton was a fairly active road course up until about the mid 80's then people built houses near the track and complained about the noise and traffic - go figure.
That was the one thing that sucked about growing up out on the Eastend of LI was all the rich jackasses that came out there every summer.
