Vanderbilt Cup Races

1904

Would be great to get a copy!  (Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal Mar. 1, 1905)

1906

Boston, New Jersey?  What about Long Island? (The Automobile Magazine Mar., 1906)

How many training quarters can you locate and still visit today? (Brooklyn Daily Eagle Sept. 2, 1906)

Another valuable souvenir! (Brooklyn Daily Eagle Sept. 21, 1906)

Best to know where you'll be staying! (Brooklyn Daily Eagle Oct. 2, 1906)

Interesting map of the course and how the participants finished.   To be used with the following chart.  (The Motor World Oct. 1, 1906)

Not a pretty picture of the race! (Life Nov. 1, 1906)

These last two items fall in the category of "don't believe everything you read"!  Assuming the article pertains to the winning car of the 1906 race, a Darracq, there seems to be an inconsistency with a previous post.  (The Motor World Nov. 14, 1907)

December 17, 2011:

"By some accounts the car still exists today and as of 2011 was in New Zealand under the ownership of Anne Thomsen and her husband-mechanic Wallace McNair.  Among its distinguished prior owners is Sir Malcolm Campbell, known for his world land speed record drives in his “Blue Bird” racers during the 1920’s and 30’s.  Campbell purchased the car in 1910 and used it to compete at England’s Brooklands track until 1913.

Author and amateur race driver Neville Minchin  purchased the machine in 1914 and introduced several modifications including a four seat touring body, a four speed transmission, center lock wire wheels and electric starter. He also drove it in Britain's “Four Inch” Tourist Trophy in 1914."
