Very brave, reaching speeds up to 200 kph/125mph! Watch the video on the link of footage from the 1920s

Mr. Frantisek Marik, an Indian Dealer in the Czech Republic, came to the United States to attend the 1920 races in Daytona (although some have pointed out it might not actually be Daytona). Mr. Marik was also pretty darn good with a film camera and recorded this account of the race. As you will see when you watch the film he recorded more than just this particular board track race event but this is the only one to survive...https://youtu.be/qp-9w7f7c60

  1. Fascinating, one of the few places I have visited, while in Florida, is the Daytona Raceway. It is awesome to think this was nearly a hundred years ago!
