Annual Long Island Old-Timers Racing Reunion
at Himes Museum August 24th

Long Island Racing Historian Marty Himes, Curator of the Himes Museum Of Motor Racing Nostalgia, will be holding the first of two Reunions on their traditional date of Sunday, August 24th, at the Museum, located at 15 O'Neil Avenue, Bay Shore, NY 11706. Many Long Island cars and stars of yesteryear are expected to be on hand that day. The second reunion will be held on Sunday, October 4th at Changing Times Pub in Farmingdale, NY.

There has always been a great time held by all at this event, which will be held RAIN OR SHINE! The annual get-together is also a way for Himes to have his birthday party, where he will once again celebrate turning "39". He insists that as always, he doesn't want anyone to bring anything except themselves, which is "present enough".

Drivers, crews, car-owners, officials, media members, etc. will all be there. Some of the personalities scheduled to be there are Bruno Brackey, George Cousins, Bill Denniston, Tony Ferrante Jr., Ray Herald, Wink Herald, Reggie Himes, Mary Kunnmann, Dottie Lee, Gary London, Johnny Mann, Ray Mortuano, Ralph Pessa, George Peters, Bob Punzi, Red Raynor, John Redlinger, Jeannie Reimuller, John Rigney, Cookie Visconti, and George Wagner. Many more are expected to attend.

"We've been doing this for many years," Himes states. "Although others may have get-togethers planned during the year, we've been doing this since 1967. We have no plans on changing things now."

"We'll have hot dogs, soda, water, and other stuff to eat," Marty continued. "The only thing people need to bring are themselves."

Admission to both events for all attendees are free. For further information, call Marty Himes at 631-666-4912, or visit the Himes Museum Of Motor Racing Nostalgia website at www.TheHimesMuseum.com.

January 1st, 2008 - Welcome to the NEW and Improved Himes Museum website. As you hopefully can see that there have been some huge updates around the entire website. Photo Albums have been modernized for your viewing pleasure, making it much easier to go from picture to picture in each and every album.

We will be adding new content to each of the pages that look "bare" as the year goes on. New features are being added, such as a "For Sale" section, as well as soon a "Merchandise" section as well. Keep stopping by every once in a while to check out what we have updated, changed, and revamped.

We all hope you enjoy the new website, and we hope you all have a GREAT 2008 New Year. Be safe, Be fast... Turn Left.
