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.

Greg, We are looking at the soon to be opened Bridgehampton Race Track mid 1957. The view is to the northeast toward North Haven. Became a residential building development after the Track closed.

The race course pictured is BridgeHampton in 1957. Located in BridgeHampton, NY
Now a golf course with some of the original track surface still existing including the pedestrian bridge to this day.
A great circuit in its time.

Early 1950’s construction photo of the Bridgehampton Race Circuit, Bridgehampton, LI, NY. Sadly, it’s currently a private golf club.

This is the Bridgehampton Race Course with the photographer located at the south-west corner of the track looking towards the north-east. I’d have to guess that the photo is from the 1960’s. The track was replaced by a golf course I spent a lot of time there in the mid-60’s as a photographer and sorely miss its absence (I don’t golf).

Location is Bridgehampton, specifically Noyack Hills facing East towards Sag Harbor, which is visible in the distance. The shot is of Bridgehampton Race Track while under construction. Approximate date would be 1957.
The location, sadly, is now a golf course although the end of the main straight—which is in the right foreground—still exists.

B) Bridgehampton Race Circuit
C) 1960?
D) Rubin’s folly! A golf course that no one should go to for his car show!

I believe that is Bridgehampton Racetrack. Don’t know the year but it is currently a golf course. The photographer is in the air facing northeast.
