Well done...Dear Kurt: This blog site is fantastic. Well done!!! In an aviation autobiography by your grandfather which appears elsewhere on the web, he says he began race driving in 1913. My supposition is that would have occurred at the Benedicts horse race track near Broadalbin, just north of Amsterdam. Most members of this Amsterdam clique of drivers appear to have gotten their start at Benedicts in the summer of 1913. The Benedicts newspaper coverage is awful, so this is difficult to confirm, but it looks pretty likely. fusco@baldcom.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
