Dennis Kelly has written an article "Vanderbilt Lives!" describing the July 26th Vanderbilt Autocross at Roosevelt Field. Scroll down the Liclassiccars.com homepage to find this excellent summary of the event and this Sunday's Vanderbilt Cup Centennial Celebration at the Nassau County Museum of Art.
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.

Howard,
Thanks for the mention, but some credit needs to go to Rich Motycka for that as well. I plagiarized him a little from previous material we had on file!
Great seeing you yesterday!
Dennis
