Thread: May 1,2.1971 NATIONAL BRIDGEHAMPTON plaque

    May 1,2.1971 NATIONAL BRIDGEHAMPTON plaque

    Disassembling my car for restoration I found this brass plaque.
    It was inside the hot air tubes (close to webasto).
    For sure it fell inside the tubes from the dash.

    Any ideas about what it could be?
    On the glove box door I have a brass plaque too...was it original or aftermarket?

    The glovebox plaque looks similar to others I've seen where owners had their names on dash plaques when they received them from the dealership. Here's a picture of another one....

    if you want to do something period correct on your car, put a dash plaque on the glove box door. Love the one above with the owner's name on it. My Dad had a German cross on his '69 E that I gave him in 1969 (kind of like the Red Baron).

    Bridgehampton was a great track. I used to race my Suzuki GS 1100 there in the early '80s with AAMRR.

    The Bridge may have been my favorite track. It looked slow but it was really very fast. And, if you went off you were up to your rocker panels in sand.

    Bridgehampton was out on Long Island.

    My father and I would drive on that track often. Usually time trials. They were sponsored by SCCA - the plaque you have or EMRA (Eastern Motor Racing Association). you would get a plaque with a sticker back to put on your car if you desired. Thought they looked pretty cool.

    I'm going to fix the plaque somewhere in the car!

    Unfortunately I live quite far from Bridgehampton.
