Greenport Speedway on Catamount Stadium site

Track Facts

Elevation: 120 feet Latitude: 42.273915 Longitude: -73.755877 Time zone: EST/EDT (-0500/-0400)

Dates of operation given seem to vary. America's Speedways gives 1952 only, but the Catamount Stadium website says 1950-1952. 1951 was the Blue Law year in New York, and very few tracks tried to run that year; racing resumed in 1952 when the New York Supreme Court ruled the no racing on Sunday rule unconstitutional.

The first edition of America's Speedways contains some other errors. Lou Lazarro did *not* start his career here, Hudson, New York is nowhere near Greenport, Long Island, and there is no evidence it has anything to do with Columbiaville Speedway.
