7:00Pm Friday Dinner Presentation:
Jeff Mahl Great-Grandson of George N. Schuster Join us for dinner on Friday July 15, as Jeff Mahl takes us back to the legendary 1908 New York to Paris Race. This international competition pitted the best of European automotive technology against the one American entry bold enough to take on the challenge of circumnavigating the globe in horseless carriages. Germany, France and Italy had national honor at stake. The Americans had Teddy Roosevelt! Discover what kept the Italian entry (a Zust) going, with a team of teenagers and who's oldest member was only 25. These "youngsters" beat three French teams, ultimately making it to the Eiffel Tower in their seven month struggle. Illustrated with original photographs taken during the epic journey will leave you amazed they ever survived... Jeff is the Great Grandson of George Schuster, driver of the American Thomas Flyer and winner of the 1908 New York to Paris Race. For his victory, George was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame beside other racing greats including Andretti, Bugatti, Ferrari, and Shelby. |
