Motor Racing at Nassau is a collection of images that complements the descriptive account of the Bahamas Speed Weeks. It conveys in pictures the roller-coaster story of the eclectic mix of people and their cars that came to Nassau to enjoy each other's company at the end of the motor racing season in America. From its stuttering start in 1954, though its halcyon days in the late 1950s, to its demise in 1966, top drivers from America and Europe came to compete in the races.
