Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Ormond Beach
Ormond Beach is a small city with a big place in the history of going fast. Early in the twentieth century the hard-packed sand here, together with its neighbour Daytona to the south, was where the world's first speed records on wheels were chased, long before anyone thought of building a speedway. Henry Flagler's railway brought the winter crowds, and his grand hotel in town drew millionaires; John D. Rockefeller wintered a short walk from the shore in a house called The Casements. A motorcyclist rolling in today is following a very old tradition.
