The field for the Massapequa Sweepstakes was a mere five cars and started 30 minutes after the Wheatley Hills race. The race was for cars with engines of 161 to 230 cubic inches and they were to compete for 10 laps or a distance 126.4 miles.
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.
