"Mr. Islip" Sal Accardi Sr. passed away.
Long Island race car driver Sal Accardi Sr., "Mr. Islip" passed away this morning.
Sal, "Sonny", "Mr. Islip", Drag Raced, and drove Modifieds from the 60's through the 80's. He was well known for his '58 red Corvette that helped him earn the "Mr. Islip" handle.
Sal will be missed by the many who knew him and with whom he shared his love of Racing.
Like Auto Racing on Long Island, Sal will not be forgotten.

So sorry to hear of another great one leaving us. I had lunch today with Richie Gomes and he said he got to drive one of Sal's Pinto's a few times and said he was a great guy.
