Free Live Streaming Cams of Daytona Bikeweek

Perhaps it was the appeal of hard sand, warm winter days and the excitement of that first motorcycle race on the beach, that made Daytona Beach the home of Bike Week. Maybe it was the spirited activities surrounding the event that have kept people keep coming back. Whatever the case, Bike Week has been a tradition since January 24, 1937 - the inaugural running of the Daytona 200.The 1937, race course ran approximately one and a half miles north on the beach; through a 1/4 mile turn where the sand was banked, and then onto the paved, public roadway portion for the trip south. Coming back on the final turn, another high sand bank awaited riders as they raced on the hard sands of the beach. Interestingly enough, starting times for these events were dictated by the local tide tables.

The races continued from 1937 to 1941. In the early years the Daytona 200
was also called the "Handlebar Derby" by local racing scribes.In 1942, the Daytona 200 was discontinued because of World War II. Its sanctioning body , the American Motorcycling Association (AMA) solemnly noted it was "in the interests of national defense" that the event was canceled. With the war, came a general rationing of fuel, tires and key engine components. Even though the racing event was "officially" called off, people still showed up for an "unofficial" party called Bike Week.On February 24, 1947, the famous motorcycle race resumed and was now promoted by the legendary Bill France.

Newspaper stories of the period recount that the city fathers asked townsfolk to open their homes to the visiting motorcyclists because all hotel rooms and camping areas were filled to capacity. The 1947 Daytona 200 featured a record 176 riders. Today Bike Week has transformed into a 10-day festival that expands throughout Volusia County. There are hundreds of events for motorcycle enthusiasts to enjoy.
Bike Week now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and is enjoyed by locals and motorcycle enthusiasts world wide.Now with today's modern technology you can enjoy a few of the views with our live Cams located thru out the event.
