Thanks Chris and "Greek". Soldiers, Sailors and Marines wanted thrills when they returned from WWII, and this track filled the bill! I'm sure it was good family entertainment too.

Amazing footage in that old film!

I was "impressed" by the lack of safety procedures, both on the track and in the stands (the tire). Very interesting clip, thanks very much, Chris, for the episode and it's content !

This is such a great video! I have been waiting for this since you mentioned it was in the works. I live on the next street over inside Seaside Village. The only recognizable structure I see in the race track video is the power plant at the end of Newland, which gives directional reference.

Big fan Chris, I ride my bike to your hidden HB spots

My father raced at that track. I have some pictures of him racing there. I paused the video when they were looking in the program and saw my dad's name. Louie Stolz. They misspelled his last name, it's Stoltz.

I remember when we'd call it Tin can Beach..lots of tar and lots of sodas left by people
