This book offers the first truly comprehensive history of Bridgehampton Race Circuit, tracing its rise, its struggles, and its ultimate demise.

Bridgehampton Race Circuit, affectionately known as The Bridge, was one of America's most beloved yet beleaguered road courses. From its opening in 1955 to its final laps in 1997, it stood alongside Thompson Raceway and Lime Rock Park as one of the three pillars of northeastern motorsport, shaping the region's sports car and single-seater culture for more than four decades. While major events occasionally drew national attention, Bridgehampton's survival was perpetually threatened by financial instability, shifting ownership, restrictive Blue Laws, and persistent noise complaints from the surrounding communities of Bridgehampton and Sagaponack. Despite these challenges, generations of racers--from local amateurs to future stars--considered The Bridge one of America's most demanding and exhilarating circuits.
