A View of the Vanderbilt Cup Races From the Massapequa-Hicksville Road Motor Parkway Bridge

One of the most exciting spots to view the 1909 and 1910 Vanderbilt Cup Races was from the Long Island Motor Parkway bridge over the Massapequa-Hicksville Road.
Wishing Everyone a Happy and Healthy 2013,

An eighth of a mile past the Wantagh Avenue Bridge, the drivers came to the eastern end of the Motor Parkway section of the course at the Massapequa Lodge.
During the race, the racers transitioned from the concrete Motor Parkway onto a temporary crushed stone road just south of the lodge. The temporary road headed north to connect to Massapequa-Hicksville Road.

Is the Hicksville/Massapequa road in the photos today what is now 106/107. If so, what happened to the LIMP right-of-way
Thanks.

Hi Roy:
It is Route 107. A section of the Motor Parkway is still there as an access road to a Nassau County Police Department Eighth Precinct from Massapequa-Hicksville Road.
