Every year in Daytona Beach, Florida thousands of biker enthusiasts join the ever-growing crowds to enjoy the festivities that Bike Week has to offer. It is located in sunny, beautiful Daytona Beach area. This beautiful and warm location makes the perfect getaway for any bike enthusiasts. Bike Week has transformed into a 10-day festival that expands throughout the Volusia County. There are hundreds of events for bikers to enjoy. Daytona’s Bike Week has been a tradition since January 24, 1937 - the inaugural running of the Daytona 200. 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. However, on February 24, 1947, the famous motorcycle race resumed. The 1947 Daytona 200 featured a record 176 riders. In 1948, a new beach/road course was used because of developments along the beach. Organizers were forced to move the event further south, towards Ponce Inlet. The new circuit measured 4.1 miles. The last Daytona 200 to be held on the beach - road course took place in 1960. In 1961, the famous race was moved to the Daytona International Speedway. Click Here To Reserve A Campsite
