About
The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

LI Oddities: Then and Now
Howard,
Fantastic website. I particularly loved the video of the 1904 Vanderbilt Cup Race and the video of your beautiful Alco starting up.
I look forward to visiting this site again & again. By the way, many thanks for visiting the VCR meeting last Wednesday night. You were a hit.
