A lucky raffle winner, a visitor from Germany, won an exciting ride in the vineyard field.



 

Over $300 was raised for the Wounded Warrior Project from the sale of the books Vanderbilt Cup Races of Long Island" and "The Long Island Motor Parkway".



 

The "Black Beast" received one of the "People's Choice" awards.

Howard,
I want to thank you again for not just bringing the Alco out to the WWP show at Martha Clara, but also for driving the car around the field for and with spectators. Your donations to the Wounded Warrior Project through the sale of your books and display of the “beast” really helped to make the show the success that it was.
Sincerely,
George
