Although it’s billed as the 42nd Annual World series, it’s actually the 40th at New Smyrna… Ed Otto promoted the first one in 1968 and ran only Late Models… I believe he may have promoted a “World Series” at Daytona Municipal Stadium in both 1966 and 67, but the track at NSS was not operational until April 1967 and started off as a dirt track and was called Daytona Raceway…
Here’s three shots from either 1976 or 77… some interesting Late Models…
- Jim Cushman in a Mopar…
- Mike Miller in a Mustang… before he brought out that crazy looking Oldsmobile…
- Dave Watson in a Buick…
