The Daytona Antique Auto Racing Association (DAARA) was originally created to keep vintage racing alive for future generations. It began in December of 1983.,when a group of race friends got together in the home of Kermit and Jean Weiss. The group that evening was Bill & Marie Rohlfs, Bill & Dorothy Brindley, Ron & Sandy Norton, Jack Greenwood and Ray & Mary Ann Thomas. The main topic of discussion that evening was concerning the antique auto racing that was occurring at the Tampa Fair Grounds. The mid-western AARA Club was the sanctioning body for those antique races. From that meeting a plan was created to form a new vintage club.


The first real meeting and appointment of Officers came in May,1984.Bill Rohlfs was President, with Ron Norton, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer Bill Brindle., the board of directors were Sammy Packard ,Kermit Weiss, Glen McClone and Jack Greenwood. The first newsletter Editor was Bill Brindley. There were a total of 21 members that year.Past Presidents of DAARA are Bill Rohlfs, Ron Norton, Doug Howard, Bob Bailey, George Gray, Dick Woolridge, Dale Miller and Bill Wendt.

Initially DAARA ran under the AARA banner, and ran events at New Smyrna Speedway and the Volusia Speedway. Static displays were held in the Daytona Outlet Mall and the Daytona Flea Market. Our members also participated in the events at the Tampa Fairgrounds, Odessa, and then on to Zephyrhills, under the AARA. DAARA took over the Fall and Spring shows in 1988, and was the main show there until November of 2010. Since then we have held our National events at Orlando Speedworld, Bronson Speedway and Marion County Speedway's,"The Bullring".

To this day our drivers, both men and women, still spend the entire race season doing exhibition race events all over the state of Florida. We have at some point and time had our grand old cars on every track in the state, both dirt and asphalt. We have also supported many vintage events out of state, most recently at Darlington Speedway and Rockingham Speedway.

You will also find the DAARA cars at the Daytona Turkey Rod, the Ocala Pumpkin Run and many charity shows through out the state. If you ever see us there, please stop by and say hello.

We are a non profit organization. Our members are from all over the state of Florida. We also have many members that are from out of state as well as Canada. The majority of our members are 60- 82 years old. Our cars represent vehicles at least 30 years old , but some are as old as 1920's. Each of our members travel and participate in our DAARA events at their own expense. We do not get a pay out and most times we do not receive trophies. Every event, every show, every meet and greet, is done just for the love of the sport. Just to keep vintage racing alive.


There was a dream born in 1983. It is now 30 years later and we still have the same dream and that is to keep vintage racing alive. We are 505 members strong and growing. Please help us to keep our dream and the dream of our founding fathers alive. Come Join us!

First and foremost a great big hand to all who made the trip to North Florida Speedway. This was without a doubt a very good turnout for all classes. We also want to thank North Florida Speedway for having us again but the best was yet to come.
We had 4 midgets signed in at Norht Florida Speedway to include Luke Hill in the L1, Boyd Vander Syde in the 9 car, Wesley Hill in his #9 and Bobby Jordan in the yellow #5. The midgets had a terrific race night and put on an excellent show.
6cyl. and V8s ran together Saturday night and put on another nailbiter with very close and clean racing. Tommy Gamble in the #97 Torino, Ronnie Grubb in the beautiful #44, Ronnie Rohn in the #1, Richie Gommes in the #27 car, Steve Parrish making the long trip in the #38, Richie Iverson piloting the Rocky Buckles #75 and Darren Nichols in the #6X. The feature race was another barn burner with eventual winner Richie Iverson coming out on top with a hard charging Darren Nichols 6X hot on his heels in 2nd.
The Sprint Cars also had a great turn out with 7 Sprinters signed in. Tate Young in the beautiful Black #3 car, RD Mueller in the 46, Terry Broadus in the Yellow #9, Josh Rynd in the #15 car, Dave Cash in the # 98 Gambler, Jimmie Mittner in the 4X4, and Charlie Dean in the Blue #52. Fireworks lit up the night sky as the Thunder and Lightning Sprinters made their pace laps. The feature race was another good battle with Josh Rynd taking the honors at the Checkered Flag.
It was a good safe night for all participants and a definite win for DAARA. Thanks again to the good folks at North Florida Speedway and to all of the participants and families and friends for making it a great success and keeping our racing heritage alive and well. Photos will be added as soon as we get them all in. We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the next event in Auburndale on May 13th.
