1906 Vanderbilt Cup

Photo of the finish. This is the first photographic record of a checkered flag finish, which had been introduced earlier that same year at the Glidden Tour.

The 1906 Vanderbilt Cup was a motor race held on a 29.7 mile street circuit on Long Island, New York on October 6, 1906.

Just like the 1906 Vanderbilt Elimination Race, this race was stopped as the crowd invaded the course.[1]
