Well every lunch I flick through this thick book called "100 Years of Motor Racing"
Published in the 1990's I think, but it has pictures that go right back to the first motor race and the first racing track to the developement of the racing car and drivers right up to " the modern day"
Man the crashes were horrific back in the day and the tracks were HUGE. Some were not paved or concrete they were made from wooden floor boards!
The pictures of Daytona are amazing, it used to be half on the beach and half on the road. Then they built a massive oval shaped track which was still sand.
Could go on but yeh its not a bad read!
