I've always come across old beach racing photos on the internet but never knew what it was from. After a little research I found that the original Daytona Beach Races were actually on the beach. Honestly the photos are nuts - I went ahead and collected some of my favorite content below and attributed the photos/videos with original links if you want to keep digging. Enjoy!
