About
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.

That’s the 120 HP Mercedes racer driven by Albert Campbell. It had been originally assigned number 13 for the 1905 Vanderbilt Cup Race on October 14, 1905 but actually raced as “X” since the team considered #13 to be unlucky. The photo location is in front of the Mansion House hotel at 1432 Old Northern Blvd. on the corner of Remsen Avenue in Roslyn. That hotel was the headquarters for the Mercedes “X” team.

In the late 1940’s, my parent’s were friends with Ralph and his wife Marian. I have a photo of them and myself when I was about 8. He died when I was 9. You might want to add her name to “Family”.
