Great job on the video and documentary, very cool and informative. 👍
Thanks a lot, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Yes in the early 70s we raced at pleasantville New Jersey 😢
Woodbridge also had a 1/2 mile board track ! Crazy to think what the cost would be today to build such a behemoth of a track with boards !
Great videos , glad you posted shots of New Egypt speedway and Wall stadium, my brother raced at wall for many years , late 80’s and 90’s !
Wow, I didn't know about Woodbridge! Thanks for checking out the video!
My Dad began his love of racing when his dad took him to the Trenton Speedway in 1939. My grandfather, my dad and my brother later became USAC officials and worked in the pits. Three generations of Michael Joachim’s...and now my nephew, Michael V is involved in Indy car racing! I have a photo of the 3 Mikes In the pits that appeared in the USAC news in the 1970s. ❤️🏎🏁
Thanks for sharing, that is an amazing story! Have you checked out the Trenton Speedway video I made yet?
Forgotten speedway in paulsboro New Jersey 😢😢😢
Forgotten speedway in pitman New Jersey 😢
Agreed that area and the rest of the Pine barrens have quite a colorful history. going back hundreds of years. Grand hotels ,Aristocrats, Pirates, Jerseys version of Robin Hood even a Vortex in a little town called ONG'S HAT and let's not forget Al Capone.
Wow, you really nailed it on that one! I don't know anything about a vortex though! What's that about?
I’m 65 now 😢😢
Such an amazing location here in my home state. We went there last Spring. Did the Amatol video, but never finished the race track. Wonderful commentary and edits!
Thanks so much! You guys are an inspiration!
Cool
Thanks, Fred!
When I was growing up the NEW Atlantic City Speedway was located in Pleasantville. My uncles garage was filled with trophies he had won there. My favorite racing though was the 3/4 midgets that raced inside Atlantic City Convention Hall.
Hey Bob, that's pretty awesome! I saw there was another Atlantic City track but didn't know where it was.
You got that right 😅😅😅❤❤
It was in pleasantville New Jersey 😅
Never heard of this one! Great job. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words!
Nice video! If you wander past the dirt pit at the end of your video you'll find some chimneys from the old houses. I've also found terra cotta pipe and remnants of the water tower. Very cool
Thanks Jeff for the feedback and info! I appreciate it!
Cool video. Great to see you included both Wall Stadium and new Egypt Speedway that thankfully still going
Thanks so much for watching! I hope they last forever!
Please look it up
Great job on the video too!!!
Hi Michael, Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
My grandfather worked at Amatol and then lived in Egg Harbor City
Wow, that is amazing! Wish I could hear some of those stories!
Thanks, this was beautifully done. Always curious about Amatol. We have so much history right in our own backyard.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. This state really is filled with history everywhere and we don't get the credit we deserve. For every new strip mall there's something hidden and forgotten in the woods!
@@TheMickeyShuffle Absolutely. Do you remember Adventure Village? It was a "family attraction" very close to Storybook Land. Not truly history but still a part of the past - nothing is left. I love the history of our state, we have an abundance of riches. Thanks for preserving it.
Hi Michele, I never heard of it but looked into it a bit. That would be an interesting topic if there were any good remains left!
@@TheMickeyShuffle But soon there won't be any woods left.
@@TheMickeyShuffle Nothing left anymore. All new construction.
I used to drive back there 20 odd years ago. My farm market was adjacent to it on the WHP.
Well done! The history in New Jersey fascinates me.
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, there is a ton of good stuff!
This is a terrific video... Thank you.
Thanks so much, Gail! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks buddy enjoyed
Thanks so much and thanks for being a loyal supporter!
Must have been spectacular. Imagine a car going over a hundred miles an hour on a wooden track? Amazing. Sorry I was born in time to see it in operation.
I couldn't agree more, David. It sounds crazy to think about today. Then think about oil spills on the track. To me it sounds like driving on a bowling alley lane. Scary stuff by some pretty brave dudes!
Screw humanity for taking this away from us.
Cool
Thanks, Vance!
