Islip Speedway, late 50s/early 60s. Rest I don't know. Railroad rails and poles surrounding the track for the "chicken wire" and cables gives away the track as Islip. (?) LOL

MMMMM, Islip Speedway in the Nostalgia Freeport forum.
May be a trick question.....

Noted. I should really look at what forum I am in. I just use the "NewPost" button all the time. Still looks like Islip, LOL. Then again, it just might be wishful thinking.

That sure looks like Dexter Park. I have a list of the car numbers and drivers somewhere here but I can't find it right now.

OLDRACER is right about Dexter Park race track.
Since I'm from the Virginia, neither heard of Dexter Park race track. I search the web. I got Marty Himes website with an excellent article on Dexter Park's baseball and racing history.

Auto racing started at Dexter Park in 1951 and ended at the end of 1955 season. 1/4 mile, 3 turns race track in which race cars could race up to 70 mph.
Because of complaints from neighbors, all racecars were required to have mufflers.
The article didn't tell why the race track closed up in 1955???

Is a article photo of race driver Axel Anderson sitting in the "Uncle Axel" # 590 race car holding the (Mobil Oil Racing Gasoline)(Red Flying Horse logo) (8 black squares blocks + 8 white square blocks = 16 B&W squares blocks) victory checkered flag.
