Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Floyd Emde was the winner of the race in 1948 and i believe the race course was the same as what the cars ran a big oval.

A few years ago an elderly gentleman gave me this photo during a presentation we made about LSR.  He was a Triumph racer.  It says on the back "Louie Miller - Racer, Jim Graham - Tuner, Daytona Beach 1951"
