The history of automotive competition in the Daytona Beach area goes back to 1903. It is recorded that a friendly wager between two gentlemen debating who had the fastest horseless carriage spawned “The Birthplace Of Speed.” The wide, hard-packed sands of “The World’s Most Famous Beach” were the scene of nearly 30 years of speed trials. In addition, the 1905 movie “Automobile Races at Ormond, Fla.” probably added to the area’s draw.
