This card is from 1962 of the “New Daytona International Speeway”. The back of the card exclaims that the cost of the “finest track in the world” designed for speeds over 200 mph was over $3,000,000. Wow! Has this area changed since then!!! All of the forest area seen near the bottom of the card is all developed now with everything from a Krystal burger place to Volusia Mall.

This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
