The Steel Palace: Oswego Speedway & Supermodifieds!


Listen Later

The Oswego Speedway, located in Oswego New York, was built in 1951 when original owners Harry, George and William Caruso converted the one time Wine Creek Horse Track into a 3/8 mile dirt auto racing facility. The track was paved during 1952 and remained a 3/8 mile track until 1961 when it was enlarged to its current 5/8 mile size. The Oswego Speedway has been a continuously run weekly race track since it opened in August of 1951.

Joining us tonight is Camden Proud - Public Relations Director - from Oswego Speedway to talk to us about its history, importance and evolution in the world of Motorsports and especially, Supermodified racing. We also have a special guest with us as well. We welcome back Kip Zeiter from the IMRRC, who’s been going to events at Oswego for over 50 years!
