Thank you so much for these amazing, historical photos. I truly enjoyed reading through them and sharing with my hometown, New Hyde Park.
Great article, I get the Herald Courier and have the article. I just drove my Model A past there this past Sunday. I have never seen the photos of the Lakeville Rd. & Jericho Tpk . turn in the races. Living in NHP all my life, and great to see NHP in the Vanderbilt News this day and age. Artie.
