Chris Barba posted this graphic video in 2021 showing how the Long Island parkway system evolved from 1927 to 2021. Sorry, the evolution of the Motor Parkway from 1908 to 1938 was not included.

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.

This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.
