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.

Wow! The sky didn’t darken like this over by us ( Lake Ronkonkoma ).

Brian, the sky did not darken as much. I placed a filter on my camera.
Unfortunately, didn’t see anything here in this part of the Villages, there was a partial not to far in Leesburg, they estimated wrong, we were supposed to get it.
That was a great idea, Howard. And I was viewing the eclipse with a sheet of paper & hole. We would had to been in South Carolina to be in darkness.2024 isn’t too far away!
Even though total darkness didn’t descend on NY, there was a strange dim of light, never seen before and unlike sunset, that lasted at least twenty minutes steadily, before turning full bright again at 3pm. I recorded the event of the surrounding terrain in my neighborhood on camcorder, then the full bright version soon after. I’m hoping the HD camera captured the difference. I will let you know. My daughter described the experience as being in another dimension. It truly was strange.
