No, the last drag strip was known as L.I. Motorsports, park run by a crook who took all the money and ran. The promotor had an agreement with the developers that would have let the place stay open as long as rent payments were made. But if he missed 1 payment that was the end . He didn't pay the guy & there was a dirt pile in front of the gate the next week.
N.Y. National Speedway closed in the '80's The original name of L.I. Motorsports park was Westhampton Dragway It had a number of names over the years. I raced @ both tracks, sometimes on the same day!
Long Island it extreamly unfriendly to any type of racing venues,
Thats why I moved to NH (19 miles from New England Dragway.)
