Teams Disbanded, Gone, Merged !!!

[Joe Stats]

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 ?

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 !!

[xracer]

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

[driver7789]

How about the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Screech Owls? Or the Port Washington Rangers?

[Joe Stats]

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 !!!
