I believe there is some sort of race going on EVERY weekend from now till fall.
Lots of private organizations use the track. Many are motorcycle races but many are racing cars they drive there, race then drive home.
We see them all the time.
I get a kick out of the minni bloopers(coopers) all dolled up. Theres more torque in my lug nuts but they go fast.

Thanks all for the info...

I like the looks of the Canaan track - that's more what I had in mind for the little guy. I'm still checking out some of these - looks like most tracks opened up this week or will be opening up next week....

When going to Lee raceway, make sure you don't take a wrong turn into the Cedar Waters nudist facility! That's a very different kind of racing.

"Run what you Brung"... wow, I remember my Dad running his beastly V8 Chrysler wagon on that! That's great...

My husband and I used to bring our kids, and stragglers, to Hudson when they were young and just like jmen they still remember the fun to this day. One time I took them and they begged me to enter the spectators race.... if I thought I had a ride home if I crashed, I might have gone for it! The kids will love it!

In the middle of May NHMS (formerly NHIS) has vintage. You can walk around the infield and look at the cars close up. Earlier in the week the open wheel cars are there (midgets, champ cars, sprint cars and old Indy cars) Ah the sound of an OFFY and the smell or methanol. I always remember the advice I got from the owner of the midget I used crew for. "Never turn your back on a race car". That was hard to do in the infield of the little 1/4 mile tracks like Islip.

I just remember taking my nephew to a Indy car race when he was little and he got bored. Years later we went to Dayton and he was not bored at all...He goes to all kinds of races now..Supers, Midgets, Sprint Cup, TQs, Champ cars, Modifieds.....He even has his own GO KART..

Start them young!!!
