For many years my dad and I would go to Daytona during the day, and then New Smyrna or Barberville (Volusia) at night.  Was also there for the years when Barberville (Volusia) had a dirt track and an asphalt track.

In the very early 70's we made it to Daytona and then what was called the Deland Dirt Track Classics at night which I think was a thrown together deal (temporary) racetrack to attract the $'s for all of us snowbirds who were down for speedweeks....  Guess what:  It worked!

Similar thing in the early 70's with going to the big track at Daytona, and then watching drag races at an airstrip on the stretch of Rt 92 between Deland and Daytona.
