More historic sports car racing led me to recreate this article from Rod Builder & Customizer May 1959 which featured Bahama Speed Week the cars, the personalities, and the controversies of the day.........and you have to check out the photos of the LeMans start - this was seat of our pants racing at it's best, the golden age of sports car racing and the transition from amateur to professional status and organizations.
