I sent the link to this to Bill Mitchell and he did confirm that it was him.

The You Tube video was taken at West Hampton drag strip on Long Island, N.Y.. It's my old stomping ground. West Hampton was the first drag strip to be built as a drag strip and not a converted air port or anything of that nature. It's a shame that the orginal owners the Caracola's sold the track and it ended up in being condo's.

RIP West Hampton. Bill Mitchell used to run his shop out of his garage a few blocks away from me in West Islip. On any warm summer night I could hear him revving engines that sounded like he was making dyno pulls. I was at his shop a few times but I don't remember much about it, Paul.

Brings back a ton of great memories.

In the early 60's, heading out of Brooklyn for either West Hampton to run the 1/4 mile or go to Islip for the 1/8

I left Brooklyn, in my 1962 Corvette, and my job at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in August of 1965 and re-located to the West coast and worked at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard.

I lived 20 miles from Fremont and Half Moon Bay, and raced at them both, until they closed.

Still racing but now the closet track is either Sears Point (Infinion) or Bakersfield, which are over 100 miles away.
