1962 Nassau Speed Weeks

Post

Rare footage of the 1962 Nassau Speed Weeks ...Top drivers from the US and Europe, including Roger Penske, Phil Hill, Innes Ireland, Bob Grossman, Lance Reventlow, Lorenzo Bandini and Masten Gregory compete in the 10 day 'Carnival of Speed' on the 4 1/2 mile Oakes Field airport circuit carved out of the jungle outside Nassau.

( :roll: )The social side of Speed Weeks is not forgotten as parties and nightspots are featured in a short 'travelogue' of Nassau hot spots and tourist attractions.

The Nassau Speed Weeks, held from 1954 thru 1966, featured a generous mixture of races and recreation. The races were organized to attract wealthy competitors and fans to the Bahamas after the American and European racing seasons had ended and before the traditional tourist season for the Islands had begun.

From looking at the stats, I don't think one person has downloaded or even watched this one.
Thought it would have been better recieved if nothing else for it's entertainment value.
This one will come off in the next couple of days.
