FLASHBACK (Okaloosa): Racetrack Road (Redux) - Ft. Walton Jets, Racing, and more as told by James Ward

This is an addition to our very first episode of FLASHBACK which explored the history of the Racetrack, once located off of Racetrack Road. James Ward reached out to FLASHBACK and we were able to talk with him about his memories of this track from the 1950s. We were also able to explore a notable figure in Okaloosa County history, Silas Gibson. Thanks for listening and we'll see around town.
