Esperanza and Irwin discuss Bridgehampton's prominence as a mecca for auto racing in the early to mid 20th century.  Hard as it is to fathom, auto racing took place on the streets of Bridgehampton from 1915-1921 and again from 1949 to 1953.  After the NYS legislature banned racing in the streets, a group purchased almost 600 acres to the north, off Millstone Road.  There, a challenging, European inspired racetrack aptly named The Bridge became one of the most important venues in the sport.  We are enamored by this incredible story, and excited to share it with you.
