Founded 2004 specifically for bringing motorsports back to long island... Where motorsports was born in the U.S. Motorsports has been apart of long island for OVER 100 years...
The 1st race was 1901, the 1st stock race was 1909 in riverhead
The 1st actual drag race is arguable, but we believe it was here also... The a timing association was 1st started in the west, there is reason to believe drag racing also was here 1st.
The 1st purpose built drag race facility was here on long island.
We can have racing back, people need to join the "Long Island Motorsports Association" "We race, We vote"
Together we are the largest organization, we could easily be over 170,000 members. To do that we need cooperation and communication.. Spread the word and join the only association fighting for what you want, we need...

Last Saturday night I was doing karaoke, and sang Jan and Dean's "Drag City," and at the end I said, "If drag racing is what you love and know, Steve Levy must go!!!!!!!!" Together we can teach that piece of crap a lesson. I support this because I've always cared deeply about cars and their needs. I am by no means a mechanic, but this track will give me the opportunity to do something for them. I'm not that great with tools. Heck, I could pay for the track if there was an all-car-trivia version of "Jeopardy!"-I'd win about 500 billion dollars at that and be able to pay to start Sunday bus service so I could actually get to the track. There is a guy in my town with a drag-radial mid '60's Nova, and once my photo of it was developed, I drew tears coming from its headlights-it's sad that there's no track out here anymore-Levy made that Nova cry. ( my late grandfather had a Nova-a 4-door '71, and if he had sold it to me I would have so kept the six-gun and do so many tweaks to it. he never understood what I saw in it. Eventually the driver's floorpan rusted through and everyone in the family except me was ragging on him that he would have to stop it with his feet like the Flintstone's car. I NEVER make fun of cars.) In closing, we need to do whatever it takes to get this done. Your Brother, "The Highway Chevalier." Reply to this

Don't we all need jobs? Would a track not create more opportunities for hard working individuals who need some income?
Will a track not bring street racing related deaths and injuries down? It wont ever stop street racing completely, but I'm positive that an outlet for horsepower junkies will prove itself worthy.
Lastly- are there no investors willing to put up the money for this project? I'm sure there are parcels of land all over Long Island, not just Calverton or Yaphank. The truth is, "if you build it, they will come" - we need an honest operation here. Reply to this

I am by no means a mechanic, but this track will give me the opportunity to do something for them. I'm not that great with tools. Heck, I could pay for the track if there was an all-car-trivia version of "Jeopardy!"-I'd win about 500 billion dollars at that and be able to pay to start Sunday bus service so I could actually get to the track. There is a guy in my town with a drag-radial mid '60's Nova, and once my photo of it was developed, I drew tears coming from its headlights-it's sad that there's no track out here anymore-Levy made that Nova cry. ( my late grandfather had a Nova-a 4-door '71, and if he had sold it to me I would have so kept the six-gun and do so many tweaks to it. he never understood what I saw in it. Eventually the driver's floorpan rusted through and everyone in the family except me was ragging on him that he would have to stop it with his feet like the Flintstone's car. I NEVER make fun of cars.) In closing, we need to do whatever it takes to get this done. Your Brother, "The Highway Chevalier."

Don't we all need jobs? Would a track not create more opportunities for hard working individuals who need some income?
Will a track not bring street racing related deaths and injuries down? It wont ever stop street racing completely, but I'm positive that an outlet for horsepower junkies will prove itself worthy.
Lastly- are there no investors willing to put up the money for this project? I'm sure there are parcels of land all over Long Island, not just Calverton or Yaphank. The truth is, "if you build it, they will come" - we need an honest operation here.

a dragstrip would be alot of fun on long island - who wants to go to the hamptons anyway? the prices are too high and everyone is stuck up. I remember seeing Steve Levy on TV standing next to Spitzer. the guy that got busted for hookers. Hey Steve, I dont care what you do with hookers - but a drag strip on Long Island might be key to get the economy going again.
