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.

Looks like Powell’s Hotel at Jericho corners! Hard to see on my phone. Will check again on my computer in a few days.
We are looking northeast in Greenvale as Felice Nazzaro makes a left turn from Northern Blvd. onto Glen Cove Road heading south in the #8 Fiat. This was during the 1905 Vanderbilt Cup race with the Bulls Head Inn in the background. Nazzaro, along with his mechanician, Antonio Forgnano (or possibly Fagnano), finished 6th. in this race.
