Islip Classic Slot Car Racing Series Islip Speedway was a .2-mile (320-meter) oval race track in Islip, New York which was open from 1947 until 1984. It is the smallest track ever to host NASCAR's Grand National Series (now the Sprint Cup Series), from 1964 to 1971. The first demolition derby took place at Islip Speedway in 1958. The idea was patented by Larry Mendelson, who worked at Islip Speedway. In 1962 a Figure 8 track was added. The popular Figure 8 class became a regularly featured division from the time of its inception until the track's final date of operation September 8, 1984. In 1964 track promoter Larry Mendelsohn conceived the idea of hosting the first "Figure 8 World Championship" event and sold his idea to ABC-TV, who would film the daytime event for broadcast at a later date on their popular Saturday afternoon television show, "ABC's Wide World of Sports".These cars use a spec motor, tires and gears. This is a great way to get into slot car racing inexpensively and simply. No modifications, no expensive parts, just shut up and drive. Great fun. |
