Freeport Stadium, Freeport, NY was a 1/5 mile asphalt circuit where I used to watch 'em run.

"An amazing amount of big name drivers ran at the tiny place, especially those from the world of Indy, which was still the leading racing sport at the time. Bill Holland, Sam Hanks, Eddie Sachs, Bill Schindler, Duke Nalon and others all ran there. Dan Gurney once proclaimed it “my favorite track in the country.”
