Marty Himes was an American icon of motor racing history and a Long Island native.  He passed in 2023 and it took several years to sell off all the memorabilia he collected in his lifetime. 
This website honors Marty and offers a glimpse into what that man meant to the preservation of Long Island racing’s history. 
We attended several of Marty’s annual ‘birthday/reunion’ events over the years, always held on his property where everyone could walk among an incredible collection of artifacts, signs, programs, flags, real race cars, toys, trophies, magazines, race suits and more.  And Marty was always at the center of everything racing on LI, having driven for years on LI tracks like Freeport, Riverhead and Islip Speedway.
Thank you Howard Kroplick, for helping to keep Marty’s memory alive and we hope his family takes comfort in knowing so many do remember Marty and feel honored to have known him.

Marty was one of a kind. We were honored to know him. Rita created several photo albums of some of the many open houses we attended. I hope they stayed with the family. JeRita

This epic auction has been a big part of our Spina family life for these last few years. He was indeed a remarkable man and so key to preserving key aspects of the Long Island automotive history. If you look closely at the portrait pictured here by Gram you can see me in the background touring the collection just a few years ago. Such a cherished moment.

What a great way to celebrate the life and legacy of a true Long Island racing and history legend! I’m so glad I got to meet him and see his amazing collection.

From InstaGRAM Report: A Celebration of Marty Himes

Thank you Gram for updating us all on the Himes memorabilia!  And thanks to Howard and team for helping Marty’s family get the collection into the hands of those that will use it the way he intended.  Thanks to Marty’s family for ensuring the material didn’t end up in the big automobile graveyard.  And finally, thanks to Marty for giving so many of us the chance to see automobile history from a first hand perspective!  Can’t wait to see Howard zooming around Long Island in that Midget racer!

That’s Elsie Janis, stage and movie actress from the early 1900’s. She was also a singer, songwriter, screenwriter, and radio announcer. She starred in the Broadway production of “The Vanderbilt Cup” in 1906. After one of her performances of the musical, she invited several Vanderbilt Cup drivers and mechanicians on stage for a photo-op. Among them were: Ralph Mongini, Walter Christie, George Robertson, Louis Wagner, Al Poole, Joe Tracy, and Louis Vivet.

Thank you Ariejan! Better late than never!
You’re information also aligns with Alice being a woman of means at that time and would drive something a bit more ‘upscale’ like Pope.
