This website is the home of the up coming documentary Sun Sand Speed which will tell the story of true American motorcycle racing heroes who had skills few could match.  They raced on a course that changed every lap, battling wind, sand as well as the rising surf.  These motorcycle racers faced a challenge of strength, endurance and skill. They negotiated a course with deep rutted sand turns and then  transitioned to hard asphalt which caused many a rider to lose traction, slide out and crash.  Some ran off the course and into the surf while several others collided with spectators who were trying to cross the race track.  This documentary is about these men who raced on the beach of Daytona from 1937 to 1960. The only break in racing occurred during WWII 1942-1946.  After the war it started up again and ran until 1960 before it moved to the current location. Keep watching as we move forward on the Sun Sand Speed project.  We are still looking for more photos, interviews and film from the period. If you have original film from the time I will transfer the film to DVD and thumb drive for the use of the footage in our piece.
