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.

Eric - the buildings in the ‘Now’ photo are the North Shore Towers just south of the GCP, west of the county line.
Forgot to add the ‘now’ view of Union Tpke east at Little Neck Pkwy.

I wish I could go, but I will be out of town. Ironically, I will be at the old car festival at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mich. Maybe there’ll be a Duesenberg there.

The driver and “mechanician” who were in that car, a German Benz racer, when it crashed were George Robertson and Stephen Reynolds. Reynolds was actually a reporter doing a story on Robertson when the crash occurred during a practice run on September 23, 1910 in preparation for the 1910 Vanderbilt Cup Race. The location of the crash happened as Robertson was leaving the LIMP at the Massapequa lodge and going on to Massapequa-Hicksville Road. Some reports say the car was repaired in time with Franz Heim replacing Robertson as the driver and placing 27th after the car caught fire on lap #6. Other accounts have Heim using another Benz (number 8) since neither that car nor Robertson were in any shape to race.

Also just remembered that this was during the relocation of the LIMP at Winchester Blvd, then east into Creedmore. Portion of the LIMP shifted north, for the expansion of Union Tpke. And the tunnel was constructed from Creedmore, then beneath the LIMP & Union; for the hospital
