Another Vanderbilt's Races
In 1936 and 1937, George Washington Vanderbilt, Willie K's nephew, sponsored races on a course built on the Roosevelt Raceway grounds. A new cup was won, one year by Tazio Nuvolari in an Alfa-Romeo prepared by Scuderia Ferrari, and the next by Bernd Rosemeyer in the legendary Auto-Union.

Public reaction was lukewarm, and the series was discontinued.
