Name that Track

I only raced there twice 1978-9 at the NED Bracket Finals.Some of the cars that stand out in my mind are the Whoopie car ('49 anglia),Steel City car,Lou Drayers chevette,a
black and green gremlin (BBC powered),Tom Vicari's later Tom Dauber's gremlin (BBC
powered) and an AMC powered altered from Canada.I had my 1973 (304 AMC powered) gremlin.Ran for Hampton (L.I.) Raceway.Fun times.Remember stopping a few times for planes to land/take off.
In 1980 some brain sturgeon,due to the race no longer at US 30,thought of the idea to run the 1st rd
of the 1980 Bracket Finals at Lebanon Valley and then finish the race at Maple Grove.I wasn't really privy to anything going on then and thought someone had lost their minds.That was the only year I didn't run at the Finals up until I quit bracket racing in 1991.
