Daytona Beach Road Course question
Stock Car Racing History
Prob. not, the surf and shallow water would have meant you would be at least 500-600 feet away and the view from the sand dunes on the beach would be up close and personal. some times to close and personal from the many spin outs. there's a video of the 1957 race at silodrome.com/1957-daytona-beach-race that shows the race and at the start 4 F-100 Thunderbird jets come down the beach at low level and as the camera pans the entire course you can see there are no boats watching. of course other earlier years may have had some boats but the many photo's I've seen I don't remember any.

Just got a note from Steve Miller that a friend of ours, Jon Button of Chittenango, N. Y. passed on Jan.26th,2015. Jon was a builder and roofing contractor and Vol. Fireman in the Chittenango area all his life. He was a heck of a race car driver and a good friend. I send my deepest condolences to Margaret and their 4 children and grand children.

Prayers for the Silver Fox

when it happened in early December the family asked that the news be kept quiet and to respect the family's privacy. so glad to hear he is doing better and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
