I was there that night racing my moms 59 ford .. Boy if she ever new. those days were great ,we lived AMERICAN GRAFFITI and to me that was the best times of our lives … Billy
I REMEMBER THE HUTCH IN 69 WHEN WE GOT OFF AT PELHAM AND HEADED SOUTH , THE COPS WERE WAITING AND PULLED EVERYONE OVER. CAR FLYING EVERY WHICH WAY. I REMEMBER A MOTION VETTE WAS GOING TO RACE AND GOT BUSTED. I FORGET HIS NAME, I WAS FROM CASTLE HILL AND HE WAS FROM THE SAME AREA. I LOVED HANGING AT THE CASTLE AND ABOUT 1-2 AM GOING TO THE HUTCH OR THE NEW ENGLAND THRUWAY. ITS WHAT MY SON’S WISH THEY WERE PART OF. REAL MUSCLE NOT RICE!!
quote Billy Casey:
yes I remember it well .. white castle was the Mels Drive IN of the Bronx..In 69 I was more involved with The Wedge Inn on boston post road and was involved with some pretty big dollar stuff on the Hutch pkwy. boy if my wife ever new what I was doing on those late nights.. 😆 😳 🙄
THIS IS TURNING INTO A “street Racing in da Bronxks” deal SO …Continue HERE about ‘FREEDOM LAND’ and I got a NEW Forum AT “BENCH RACING ” about Just THAT….DA NEW YAWK BOYZ RACING On THE STREET
yes Dino.. that was the horse track … when the horses didnt race they had 1/8 mile drags in the parking lot … it was close to the city so there were alot of cars…

I WAS WEANED AT FREEDOMLAND DRAGSTRIP. I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE 62 409’S, A MOPAR WITH BUTTONS CALLED MR. FROG, A BLACK PRIMED 55 CALLED BRUTUS. AS I GOT OLDER WE RACED AT CONNOR ST. I REMEMBER BOBBY DELSO,S SMALL BLOCK MG, J&J CUSTOM SHOP AND A FRIEND KENNY NESTER HAD BURKE AVE SPEED SHOP. I MIGHT HAVE SOME DATES WRONG IN MY MIND, BUT WHAT A TIME. I HAD A BUNCH OF PICTURES THAT WERE LOST IN A FLOOD, BUT I STILL HAVE A FEW FROM DOVER. I WILL TRY TO DIG THEM OUT.
Neg Guy her Lou Saltarelli from yonkers. I was very good friends with Tony and Kenny Nester from Burke Ave Speed Shop my brother-in law Doug drove the c/g dragster they built. They use to test drive it on Burke Ave. Tony moved up to la grange still into building T buckets with his sons. he might have alot of pics I’ve been trying to get in touch with him. I remember Freedom Land as a park and a strip
slomo.
