This is the 50-year anniversary of the
24-hour race in Daytona.
That was last weekend, I think.
Even the art museums celebrate thisarea's claim to racing fame.
The original NASCAR track was the beach and A1A.
Bill France started it all.
The Daytona 500 is February 26 this year.
Smokey Yunick always did it his way.
The good old boys alwaysmade sure there were pretty
girls to decorate the events.
I'll do a separate post with pics
from the gardens.

is it fun? It seems like a lot of noise and gas fumes. :-)
Have a good weekend.
I attended several races in the early years of living here, mostly because it was the thing to do with the people I hung around at the time. Including, racing (and pro wrestling.ew)was all husband liked.
It's very noisy but some of it is exciting and the crowds are actually fun.
I haven't followed the sport in a long time. Couldn't care less except that the huge crowds make driving a PITA for about a week.
You have a great weekend, too, Boxer!
That was a nice post, thank you Jean!
Much welcome, Michael. Hope you also like the next one about the gardens.
:-)
p.s. also, I live a short five miles from the race track and can hear the cars during practice and races.
