The Daytona 200  motorcycle races have been around for a long time, and when you say that something popular has been around for long, chances are you'll find photographs from the events in the Time-Life photo archives.
The Daytona 200 motorcycle races are no exception. Time have published never-seen-before photos from the 1948 event, and as was custom in those days, they are in black & white. The Daytona 200 in those days was not raced on a circuit, but on the beach.

The photos found on Time are unpublished photos, so they are unique and amazing. 60 years ago, during those magical 4 days, 2 people died, and 30 were injured. Go over to the Time-Life website and have a look at these amazing photos.
Thank you Time for showing these old photos.
