Video clip from home movies taken in 1949 of motorcycle racing on Daytona Beach. This was before the construction of the Daytona Speedway and both auto and cycle racing was done using the beach and highway adjacent to the beach. Note the lack of homes and condos in 1949. Also note at the end of the video a cyclist is injured and they have to remove him using a stretcher. Video courtesy of Mario Levetto.

  • that would of been so so much fun,i can see me in amongst all those bikes on the 1st bend hustleing for a spot, would trade todays frame of mind gov/polocies for a piece of freedom as they knew back when,oh today,s pain of it all!!

  • All of those bikes running at the same time.Wow ther had to be at least 40 bikes

  • For stock cars on the same beach course, see AutoBeachUT on Solbiate11's channel

  • I bet they had fun in the breeze riding along while the sound of the waves was drowned out by the engines. :).
