Bridgehampton Race Circuit was located at Long Island, New York, USA. The track was built in sandy ground of the Long Island after ban of racing on public roads in state New York related to crash near Watkins Glen in 1952. The track was opened in 1957 and the new circuit replaced local Bridgehampton Street Circuit and soon took important place in North American racing. The track became famous by number of fast blind corners and number of elevation changes. Bridgehampton Race Circuit was hosting number of major meetings like Can-Am, Trans-Am, Nascar and even World Sportscar Championship until early '70s, when lack of funds and hostility of local residents because noise pollution, prevented any development of the track and caused loss of all professional events. The track bankrupted and was closed in 1983, however few years later was reopened by local enthusiasts, who were keeping the track, which remained all time in almost original state from '50s, operational for amateur racing to 1997, when the track was closed and converted to golf course. Bridgehampton Race Circuit was likely very first place, where spectators could see in action a thing, which changed car racing since forever - a wing on a racing car - Chaparral 2E during Can-Am event in 1966.
