Saturday's Bridgehampton Vintage Auto Poker Rally & Parade was a special event featuring a display of magnificent vintage cars and racers, a parade through the 4-mile Bridgehampton old course and a Poker Rally. Below are highlights of the parade which was led by the Alco Black Beast:
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.

Great pictures and interview, Howard, and thanks for helping to make it a fun and memorable day. All the local papers followed it up with stories and everyone’s still talking about the appearance of “The Beast”.
