A little bit of trivia, West Hampton raceway was the first purposely built dragstrip in the country. It wasn't an old airport converted to a dragstrip, it was just a racing facility. It's a shame for the people of Long Island that that track got closed because of political pressure and an a$$hole who ended up putting it under.
