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.

Very cool. How far back does it extend? Does the road go beyond that fence there in the pic with the Alco in it?

From Bruce K:
“Great photography. In the opening scene I was thinking that the Chrysler’s motor was a little noisy but ok for being stored so long while backing out of the garage. Then I saw the “skinny” tow line connecting it to the noisy diesel pickup, sneaky photographer you hired!”
