The vision of one man, Captain Sherman 'Red' Crise, resulted in the
Bahamas Speed Weeks, a series of motor races held on the island of
New Providence in the Bahamas. They started in the mid-1950s and
continued for thirteen years, before ending due to a mix of
political decisions, ill fortune and a shift in the direction motor
racing had taken. These years have been described by many
commentators as the golden age of motor racing, where
internationally-acclaimed drivers attended the Speed Weeks to mix
with the many amateur racers from America who came to enjoy the
scenario of sun, parties and racing. For many drivers the social
scene was as important as the racing, and in latter years prize
money was an extra incentive to turn up. This well-researched
account tracks the history of the Speed Weeks with its
roller-coaster ride throughout its initial thirteen years'
existence. This revised edition includes 300 additional photos,
greatly expanded indices, updated information and new chapters
highlighting the 2011 and 2012 Revival Meetings.
