Vanderbilt Cup Races

Cablevision's Neighborhood Journal has developed a five-part film series on the Vanderbilt Cup Races. The producer and narrator of the film is Bob Klement who is interviewed by host Joanna Venditto. The five parts of the series are:

Part I -Who was Vanderbilt?

Part II- From Dream to Reality

Part III- Early Cars, Early Races

Part IV-Birth of the Motor Parkway

Part V-Racing into History

This 5-minute segment of the series "Part IV: The Birth of the Motor Parkway" focuses on the creation of the Long Island Motor Parkway with my favorite co-author Al Velocci and current efforts to preserve it.
