Don't remember Westhampton, although that was not my home turf, and it may have been gone by the early seventies. You're right. I was referring to New York National Speedway. We used to stay in the Riverhead motel, which was, of course, in Riverhead. We would drive in from Chicago or from wherever our last race was on Friday night and head out on Sunday night. Did it just about once a month in the summer from 1972 to 1976. The shows were booked in by the consortium that owned the track. They owned Detroit Dragway and Kansas City International Raceway as well. We had a contract to run all three. Sometimes it was KC on one weekend, Detroit on the following Tuesday, and NY on the next weekend. When the schedule gods shined on us, we could sometimes book Englishtown, New Jersey on the second Tuesday. We ran Gary, Indiana, US 30 Dragstrip every Wednesday. Great times and bad motels. The best days of my life. Paul
