I used to see that Islip Speedway truck driving around Holbrook (Lincoln Ave) all the time….up until about a year or so ago. Glad to see it found the best home possible!

Wow. You scored a great piece of history. I think there were some racing firsts that happened at Islip.

Really great find. I grew up around Islip Speedway, many fond memories about that place. I put one of their bumper stickers on my ‘75 Dent as an homage to the old joint. Marty Himes of the Himes museum in Bay Shore, NY has a ton of great stories about Islip and its sister tracks on LI. Great stuff.

19:10 I'm thinking that maybe out video host doesn't actually know who "Ralph Nader" is. LOL. For anyone that doesn't know he wrote a very famous book called "Unsafe at Any Speed". in which he wrote that the Corvair (An excellent little rear engined car that was AIR COOLED!). He lied through his dirty little teeth that it was prone to spinning out and rolling over even at very slow speeds. It was NOT true but he was supposed to be a non biased Journalist (Sound familiar??) so people believed him and the Corvairs reputation was so damaged that it went out of production. It was later found out the Nader was taking big money from Ford and possibly other makers to trash Chevy's air cooled success. Sad but a sign of lies and evil to come in the future. (As in right now LOL).
