This is old footage, you might have to look at it a few times to take it all in.

Wow, a lot has changed since 1960 at Daytona.

I didn't see one 1960 car, other than the Buick pace car.

That was 3 years after the ban so, I guess they continued to run the '57 "race" cars.

It's written at the start, that this is the "Modified Sportsman" race
of 1960, which must Not include the newer race cars.

WOW! Nothing like today's Xfiniity race with 9 cautions...fastest lap 195mph...only 12 cars finished without a scratch.....out of 40....and nobody got out of their cars to flip back on their wheels to keep racing.....of course, none of them flipped thanks to all the safety flaps/wings/things/ that keep them on their feet....

Cool archive footage...thx for posting.

Cheers
