Vintage stock car racing clips from all across New York State from the 50's, 60's and 70's as described below...
1.) Canandaigua - 4:01 (1954 Big Cars and 1955 Stock Cars) AMAZING quality film here.
2.) Evans Mills - 4:59 (1967 dirt and 1968 asphalt - 1st 2 years of operation)
3.) Fulton - 6:03 (Various clips throughout the 60's and early 70's)
4.) Lafayette - 5:24 (1951 black and white and 1952 color)
5.) Lancaster - 1:13 (About 1969 or 1970 - Sadly, a good portion was too dark to use)
6.) *Lebanon Valley - 2:54 (Approx 1970 - 1971. Again, a portion of the film was too dark to use)
7.) Monroe County Oval - 6:05 (Mid to late 50's and early to mid 60's)
8.) Naples - 1:07 (1953 - the last year the track ran. This is the only film footage of Naples I know of. Excellent quality and in color)
9.) Oswego - 5:05 (50's, 60's and real early 70's)
10.) Palmyra - 8:13 (1952 and 1953 covering Sportsman and midgets)
11.) *Paradise - 1:30 (Very early 70's bikes in excellent quality film. Neat stuff here)
12.) Perry - 1:51 (1966 with great coverage of Art Clark in his 1960 Impala)
13.) Shangri La - 1:00 (Mods and Late Models from the early 60's.
14.) Sharon - 2:59 (1953 from Sharon Springs, NY)
15.) South Seneca - 8:52 (There maybe be footage in here from every year the track ran)
16.) Spencer - 5:00 (1956 to about 1962. You'll love what I did with this because I had tons of footage to work with)
17.) *Syracuse - 3:51 (1950's, 1960's and 1970's. Includes the Wimble fire and USAC footage)
18.) *Utica Rome - 3:29 (1962 footage includes Richie Evans in his first car. Second year of operation for the track)
19.) Waterloo - 4:04 (Includes footage from the 50's, 60's and 70's. I like this piece because I had a bunch to work with)
20.) Watertown - 4:14 (1950's and 1960's footage from different angles of the track. Several wrecks in this)
21.) Weedsport - 4:04 (My favorite part of the whole DVD. All 1950's footage that kind of tells a story that I couldn't resist)

Seeing that old Lebanon Valley footage is pretty cool, my stepdad took his car up there a few times in the 1980s and 1990s

[@NumberNineVideo]

I haven't "forgotten" them. I collect film and transfer it to digital. I live near Rochester, NY and haven't gotten any Long Island film yet.

I wish I had that footage.

At the time I made that video, other people were covering vintage Fonda video.
