Race time in Daytona, again...

A lovely place to spend some time.
Opened in the late 1940s because of
a WWI veteran and artist.

This is the 50-year anniversary of the
24-hour race in Daytona.
That was last weekend, I think.







Even the art museums celebrate this
area'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 always
made sure there were pretty
girls to decorate the events.







I'll do a separate post with pics
from the gardens.
