Never happen. When they sold Westhampton (Long Island Dragway) to developers after putting all that money into improvements there, that was the death knoll for drag strips in LI. Locals will never approve. IMHO

They're trying like hell Joe but like you said there are still a few big obstacles in the way.
But never say never, this Island needs a racing complex bad!!!

I agree, however I just don't see it ever happening. I raced at both Westhampton and National Speedway back in the day. Had great memories there. It's a shame, all the tracks we lost in the metro NY area over the past 40 years. Dover, Conn. Dragway, LID, National Speedway. Almost lost Island Dragway a few years ago.

I agree it's a pipe dream James, we'll see what happens.
The group is trying hard and I hope their only reason isn't just for the political gains like they accomplished in the last election.

Seems like a deal to me, unless it's in a flood zone.
It is.

Here's a clip of a newspaper article.

Nice article Paul, thanks.
Don't know where there's 250 acres on Eastern Long Island that would be friendly to a motorsports park. The land in that area is close to $250k an acre and the natives aren't really very hospitable to anyone infringing on their space.
There was a short time frame right after Calverton was taken over by Riverhead Town, the land was available at $18K an acre and the funding couldn't be put together for a race track and now the neighbors there have pretty much banded together to stop any form of motorsports.
We'll see what the future brings!!!
