Bret: I understand what you are saying, I'm sure there are other dragstrips built around that time and there was no internet at that time to say who built the first one. But here is my beef with the owners of West Hampton raceway, they could have declared it a historic site before allowing the politicians to close it up. It closed do to noise ordinance laws that a lawn mower couldn't pass. The time frame that they had to race in was 10 am to 6pm, after 6 pm they got ticketed for noise. I'm sure that that is one of the reasons that the track closed because it couldn't make enough revenue in that short amount of time. Long Islander's didn't know what they lost until it was gone.

PS. How is your blood work?
