Makes no difference if you own a Lotus or your name is Dan, Autolite Spark Plugs can’t be beat. There’s a set made especially for the car you drive. As Gurney and the Lotus well prove, you’re always right with Autolite.

By repute the Nassau Speed Weeks had the second largest purse in racing to the Indy 500.
The Bahamas Speed Week Revival will take place from 24th November – 2nd December this year and although the purse may be smaller the parties will be just as good !
The latest exciting entry for 2012 is the Cooper Monaco driven by Jack Brabham in Nassau in 1959.
