Description
Motor Racing at Nassau in the 1950s & 1960s by Terry O'Neil is a fascinating account of the early days of motor racing in the Bahamas. In the mid-1950s, Captain Sherman 'Red' Crise brought his vision to life, creating an event that would become one of the most prestigious sports car events on the calendar. The Nassau races were marked by their unique blend of speed, socializing and partying, attracting both internationally acclaimed drivers and amateur racers from America. The atmosphere was electric, with prize money becoming a major draw in later years. This book brings to life the excitement of these events through previously unpublished photographs, complete program covers, and other material gathered over six years of research. With its wealth of visual content, this book offers a captivating look at a bygone era of motor racing, where the social scene was just as important as the racing itself.
