- Step back into the past and see 13 different Old Speedways that many have long since closed. Watch what these tracks were like in their heyday with several Hall of Fame Drivers at the wheel. Visit tracks like Pine Bowl, Greenport, Coxsackie, Burden Lake, Cairo Fairgrounds, Onteora, Route 66, Albany-Saratoga, 1975 Fonda Car Show, Accord, Orange Co. Airport (1960 NASCAR Grand Nationals), Orange Co. Fairgrounds, Lebanon Valley (1987 World of Outlaws). An extensive compulation of 8mm movies and photos will bring you right back to the speedways.
In the Albany-Saratoga section, there is rare footage of Ernie Gahan in-car camera competing in a heat race from the early 1970's. See N.A.S.C.A.R. Grand Nationals race at Orange Co. Airport in 1960 on an odd triangle shape track made of runways. Lebanon Valley segment is flag to flag coverage of the 1987 World of Outlaws feature event announced by Jim King.
Also at the end of some speedway segments, there are current airviews depicting the tracks as it rests quietly today.

Am 86 years now …remember some of those cars and tracks…..Wabash Canonball….right tune for that. Thanx Rich Rice.
My Dad raced on many tracks in the northeast in the fifties and sixties. He just turned 99 and has many wonderful stories of those days
Wow congrats 99 god bless him.Ask him about Frankie Schneider #2 I was good friends with him and talk to his son quite often although he passed away 2018.I am a lot younger 58 but I spent a lot of time at the Flemington racetrack which is now gone like many tracks.The racing days are long gone.
Albany-Saratoga Speedway is still open. Went there every Friday night as a kid with my dad, my uncle, and my grandfather. Richie Evans raced there every Friday night when I was a kid...when it was a NASCAR sanctioned track. Jumpin Jack Johnson was my favorite driver once they switched it back to dirt
I'm sure Pickell, Tobias, Hager, Schneider...were in there somewhere. Love these old movies thanks for sharing.
love this stuff...home films/photos are awesome
For stock car history this is one of the best videos I have seen. Never knew there were so many track. in that area. Well done.
When I was a kid we used to climb a tree in the first turn with the stocks cars going right under us at the old Nazareth Speedway in Pennsylvania.Used to go to Trenton,Langhorne,Flemington and Reading Speedways.
That is freaking awesome 👍
My Dad & his brothers started out on a 1/4 mile oval cut out in the woods with chopped up 49&50 Chevy coupes. Retired in 1983 running a 74 Chevelle Malibu in the late model class. If we could only turn the clocks back.😢
@@forwarddrive4066 Now,that is an awesome hidden piece of history.
My grandfather, Gene Bergin, raced in the North East, and I've seen lots of photos, but never got to see real footage of races. Thanks!
We went to many races when Gene would win. My Dad was a helper on a pit crew in the 1950s and early 60s
Love the video and the soundtrack was as much fun as the racing.
excellent. thanks for sharing!
You all forgot the old Waterloo fair grounds , great track , can see old Bobby Cain , Frank Podalak now , those were the days my friend , special thanks to the two of them !
Used to go there in the '60's as a young kid, Larry Nye in the 150 Enders special was my driver!
The country lost another one this year !!! Illiana Motor Speedway in Indiana shut down after 70 years of racing !! Rip Illiana
how about the great selection of music to accompany this great video. It really added a nostalgic flair to the video.
My grandfather used to tell me stories about going to the races at the old Pine Bowl Speedway as a kid. That place is long gone now but it's awesome seeing all this old footage
Great video. Thanks.

Too many commercials...
the music is wrong
The corny old hillbilly music is more suited to the 1930s in Alabama or something!
