Speed boat daytona beach

The area encompasses both beaches, but when the sanctioning body-the American Automobile Association-built a clubhouse just over the line in Daytona Beach from then on the press credited Daytona Beach as the location for racing and record attempts. There is a three-mile length of sand extending from Ormond Beach south to Daytona Beach. Bill told me that oval races at Daytona Beach were as old as record attempts and that the Speedweek predated the Indy 500. I found him most affable and I was given a pass to go almost anywhere. Since I had previously raced sports cars, we had a short and interesting chat. Because I had not obtained credentials in advance, I was ushered into the office of Bill France, Sr. In 1970, I was sent on a photo shoot to Florida the assignment included going to the Daytona 500.
