My condolences to the Voelker family. "Whitey" was something of a 'bad guy' in the Figure-8's, but he always drove a great race and put on a good show for those of us in the stands.

My condolences to Carl and his family. Whitey was a little before my time but his name always came up when talk of the good ole days of Islip Speedway figure 8's came up.

Condolences to the Voelker Family. " Whitey" was one of the old school racers That I watched as a teenager at Islip Speedway & competed against for many years at Islip. He was a real showman & a good friend to be around. We will all MISS him!!!!!!!!
