Historic cars can be seen on the grounds of the Bridgehampton Museum’s Nathaniel Rogers House from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday in a show called “Fast Company.” Aside from the full-size cars, you can check out slot car races on a custom track designed to match the old raceway at the Bridge.

There will be continual screenings of “Glory Days at Bridgehampton,” and at 4 p.m. a question-and-answer period with Peter Klebnikov of the Bridgehampton Racing Heritage Group and two racers from the 1960s, Bobby Brown and Herb Wetanson, will complete the day.
