View from the Grandstand
Grandstand spectators had an excellent view of the action taking place on the Long Island Motor Parkway. Across the road was the two-level press and officials’ stand, which served as a hub for the event. Telephone reports were called in from around the 12.64-mile course so officials could update the scoreboard and announcer Peter Prunty could shout news through his giant megaphone to the gathering.
