How about a list of all the motorized teams that are no longer racing ? List of motorized teams that have merged with other teams ? (whether still racing or no longer racing) How about listing trucks that are racing today that belonged to other teams ?

Now how about a post about where all the old arch's and tracks were and who practiced where? There are some old teams and pics. available in the memories section here and on NYS drill team site.
Wouldn't it be cool if every team still participated .The tournament would take like 3 days to complete!!. Would be like a Drill team festival. huh ha!!

Thanks xracer, nightraider and sneaker1 !!! Damn, that's a lot. Now that I see them listed, I remember these motorized teams.
Such a shame, but time brings changes, unfortunately not all changes are for the good. Too many teams gone !!
Hey sneaker1 I like that idea about tracks & arches. Maybe we can get some responses on that here !!

West Babylon was the Screaming Eagles and if I'm correct, their B rig looked like the old Good Humor truck.

Thanks brucer, I'm lucky to have been around the sport since 1977, i better remember the names of most. Thank You for filling in those others. Thanks for the correction xracer, sad to say I don't recall that B rig. Would have been interesting to see. And driver7789 i'll have to add them in, thanks !!!

North Babylon and Wyandanch combined and should be out for the Selden Invite from what I am hearing. Islip Terrace is combined with Brentwood for this season as well
