The track in the film was Freeport. It is no longer there. It was between Sunrise Highway and Merrick rd. If you pause the video at 6:43 you will see that it matches the picture below. Roosevelt running @ Freeport - Buffalo Ave. (nys site memories section photo)  |

Malcolm, thanks for posting that here. I love the old nostalgic stuff. The course was right up the street from the old Freeport Speedway on Buffalo Ave. There's a shopping center there now. Gotta love progress  |

From the copyright date at the begining of the film, I believe it read's MCMLXV which is 1965.

Lou Medaglia was chief April 1965-April 1966 of Freeport F.D. so that would jive for this video being shot in that time frame

That's the Flukes running B-Hose with the Ahrens Fox at 5:45 into that film. Excellent!
