Howard,
Thanks for listing my Vanderbilt Cup Race Parking Ticket as one of your top 25 posts picks! Quite an honor! Hopefully this year will continue to bring on new and exciting discoveries - Wishing you and the rest of the Vanderbilt Cup Races family a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Hi all,hope you had a great New Years. These pics are great,what memories they bring back of the past year and probably more to come this year,and will go on and on as always and will be remembered.
From Pamela Hirschhorn:
Happy New Year Howard,
Thank you for such an informative and fun newsletter ( my, am I showing my age! ).
I had the pleasure of coming of age on Long Island, enjoyed the 75th anniversary of the Vanderbilt Cup, had the pleasure of meeting Austie, and learning about brass from Les Cutting.
I am now living in Harrisburg, PA, right in between the hollowed grounds of Hershey and the very popular Carlisle. I have been hosting an online calendar of events, http://www.northeastwheelsevents.com for 6 years. The calendar encourages enthusiasts to explore more of their hobby through museums and events outside their normal interests. This is why we need people like you to reach out to new enthusiasts by posting your events, events which feature brass and pre-war history, and historic lectures. These listings are free. In season, an average of 2,000 active enthusiasts visit the calendar. We need to get more of these people to look beyond their ‘57’s, muscle and tuners. As I am sure you know, look at the attention you get when you display your fine collection at different events.
Time is running out the pass our passions onto the next generation. Every post is important. List and share your 2017 events now so people can plan to attend. Invite your friends to help pass the torch and list their events. Let’s get the next generation involved before all of our cars end up as specimens in a museum.
Thank you for your help in keeping our history alive,
Pam Hirschhorn
