40 year old VIDEO from Florida City Speedway

[Boneman]

I bet you haven't seen anything like this for a while! Long lost Florida City Speedway roars back to life with the TQ midgets, early mini stocks and a quick look around the pits. Thanks to the wonder of "YouTube", we can get a glance at a track that has been closed since 1976.

Agreed, the quality is not good. This footage was originally shot on a 8mm movie camera sometime in the late 1960's. It was converted to VHS tape by Al Brooks Jr, the son of a Florida City racer. Thanks to my daughter, it is now converted to digital format for everyone to see.

The #11 TQ is S. Florida legend Brady Mason. This was filmed before the TQ's ran cages. When the cages appeared, so did wings, and the cars got even faster.

A link to the video is below, and there is always a link to the Florida City museum on my signature. Enjoy!

Actually, the quality isn't that bad considering how old this film footage is... I was lucky enough to see a few shows at the little track after I got stationed at Homestead in 1974 before the track closed in 76... It was a really neat place...
The bad thing about You tube is that after you watch one video, you keep watching... and watching... never get any work done...
