Ahhh! One of my favorite pictures from the Florida City site! Dana nailed the question on all fronts. I think it is interesting that John Guzzetta "flat-towed" the #66 from Key Largo. That is probably 20 or 25 miles: not an easy trip if you are pulling with a tiny Sunbeam!

As you can see, the track was right in the middle of an "ethnic" neighborhood. There are probably some horror stories about that, but to tell the truth I don't know any. Everyone seemed to get along pretty well. I remember a black driver in the mini stocks, (Isom Shavers), and some black fans in the stands with their kids.

This was during the era of a preposterous experiment in social engineering when kids were bussed from white neighborhoods to black schools, and from black neighborhoods to white schools. One of the kids who lived next to the track rode the bus to my school 20 miles away, and was in my class. We were buddies, but it certainly was a stressful and expensive way to try to put people together in South Florida.
