Vanderbilt Cup Races

After somewhat a process of elimination I am ready to submit an answer.  We are looking at the Eisenhower Park White Golf Course.  To the right of the photo, we see Carmen Avenue heading north.  It will go up and over the LIMP.  The last photo of the people on top of the bridge, the photo is looking east.  As the LIMP turns to the southeast.  According to the internet, the White Course opened 1950.

The writeup and pictures are right on, some I’ve never seen before. If I can attach a couple more from the later years, 1071-94, I will. Racing in those years was Formula Atlantic, motorcycle road racing and motocross, SCCA, EMRA and other club racing and Formula Ford schools. One year at Indy the first 2 rows were all drivers who got their training in Formula Atlantic at Bridgehampton.

The area in the photo marked Creedmoor Hospital was actually a wooded area
Queens Villagers called “The Rockies”. A wonderful playground. There was an area filled with large slabs of cement . Maybe someone knows where they came from. If they were part of Creedmoor at one time?

One additional comment on Janet Guthrie: - -I gave her a ride from the city to Bridgehampton one year for an International Motor Press Guild test day at the track. She was personable, intelligent, a great passenger and an honor for me to meet her.

By the way, Rubin took over the track in about 1985 or 6. Bill Conlon and I ran it through 1984, then turned it over to Hank Chapman. (I had gone overseas in 1983, Bill couldn’t handle it past 1984; he was Dean of Fine Arts at Fordham, a little busy.

I went to this special event on that Sat. my fist and last time at Carlisle. My favorite vintage car is a ‘48 Chrsler New Yorker sedan, and other reasons, and my guy Howard was there along with Dave Baum with the Chrysler’s Chrysler 1st. car by the entrance. Both sweating it out, the AC not working! On display was two Chrysler Gas Turbines of 1963. was showing off front and rear of a Ford Concept car in 1958 that Elwood P. Engel formerly of Lincohn/Murcury was hired by Chrysler to be head of Chrysler design Nov. ‘61. his first project were those Gas Turbine Cars, note the front and rear with T-Bird roof.
