drag racing on a quarter mile track with '60s and '70s musclecars, lots of shine, horsepower and speed, with loud engines and smoking tires.

  • Nice piece . . . interesting study. Pleasant.

  • haha i bought my car from the dealership at the end of that bumpy ass road leading up to the strip..

  • @spacepatrolman never saw crashes @ Island. Early 70's @ Englishtown watched AA/gas Willys qualifying during Summernationals never shut off till almost end of shutdown, lose chute, and roll about 7 times in field, S/S satelite rolling over just past beams after posting 121 mph, and Levi Holmes' Black Knight pro stock Nova crash in beams...they all walked away. something how those moments remain with you, right?

  • @speedskiff2 they used to stop the races in the middle of the day when the train was comeing the prock and howell willys went 160 mph on fuel the chute didnt open he overran the shutdown area and the sand trap hit the cable the cable cut the roof off almost cut his head off hit the roll bar and stopped the car / a similar thing happened someplace else when doug cooke crashed his willys and broke both his arms

  • back when i ran Island, i remember hanging out till 2 AM to run stock cups eliminator and watching train pass at end of shutdown.

  • Someone needs to fix that bumpy road leading up to the spot. GOOD LORD!!! lol

  • I was just at Island on Friday. It was only my second time there, and I already love that place. Another few weeks of working on my '69 Nova and I'll be running it there.

  • Where is the beef?

  • Thank you Mr Wargo for taking Stephen and i to this speedway back in 1972 thats when the car bug bit! never looked back since!

  • first day i get my license im going there to race my friend in his firebird..its going to be fun!
