Back in the late 60s me and my buddies used to ride our bikes to Islip and hang out in the trees behind the starting line. Shortly after getting my license we headed to Montauk Point in early May 71 and came across Hampton Raceway by accident, it was around noon Saturday and 5 dollars to race so I signed up and made my first 1/4 mile passes in my 63 Dodge Polara with a disassembled Yamaha 100 in the trunk, talk about ballast.
