Did you run at Islip at all? Supposedly my 63 was a record holder there and I have not been able to find anything.

I hung out at Islip in the late 60s, we could take our bikes from West Islip and hang out in the trees behind the starting line, I never raced there but started racing at Hampton in May 71 shortly after getting my license. What kind of engine or class was it raced in. There was a 63 out of CI I think that had a 383 and was called Sad Sack, Bowers may have raced his 63 there but I can't think of any others.

Great news, good to see that things are moving in the right direction.

Naturally this all happens as soon as I decide to move back to CT.

I can't win.

Ferry is expensive and kind of takes forever but if the track ends up way out East it might be a decent alternative.

Either way, it won't be a huge deal to drive down from Stamford on a weekend morning. One hour door to door from Huntington now.

I imagine the F.A.S.T guys from up by Hartford would be down with some regularity and they're North of Stamford by at least an hour.

Same as the crew from the Boogie Down, they're bridging it either way.

I am not sure what class it was raced.The kid I bought it from said when he bought the car he scraped all the stupit stickers off the side glass and rear window eek
