Any seasoned long island street racers around??
 

looking for someone that may have info on a old street race car from that area 69 , 70,s possibly early 80,s should be pretty well known car...Thanks

Any idea where on LI ?, there were pockets of street racing all over. If it was a well known car from the 60,70's specifically, it probably did time in the Brooklyn/Queens area (Connecting Hwy, Fountain Ave, Cross Bay Blvd etc.) That was a real street racing hot bed during that time, but started to fade in the 80's. Google up Connecting Hwy etc, you'll find bunch of stuff. Good luck with the search

Iam going to say central islip around where all the federal buildings are and commack area.

Maybe Deer Park Ave. In Deer Park.

There is a group of Facebook called NY 231/NY Drag Racing Past and Present, you should post it on there.

That's western Suffolk County. The street action was Deer Park Ave during that era. Cars would gather at Jack in the Box in Commack and drive down to Deer Park for matchups. Federal buildings didn't pop up in Central Islip until mid to late 90's. Islip Speedway was south of Central Islip in Islip. Mostly figure 8 but had 1/8 mile track. Closed in '84. GotGrunt is right. Check out that Rt 231 Facebook page. 231 is the route number for Deer Park Ave. Different names, same road mostly.

I will have to check that out hopefully someone has some pics and maybe info, orig owner was a suffolk county police officer was bought new at BF chevrolet commack ny...Black/Black 396/375 69 nova 4 speed...
