I'm looking for pictures for my dad from when he used to race in KS from 1953- early 1956 at 81 Speedway in Wichita,KS Sunday nights and the other track in Wichita Sunday afternoon then at the fairgrounds in Hutchinson, KS on Saturday nights and in Salina, KS racetrack on Friday nights if anyone has pictures from this time frame from these tracks I would like to get some copies. My dad raced a 1937 ford 2dr slantback painted red and white #28 he raced under the name Frank Symons.
Did he ever race at the Cowley County Fairgrounds in Winfield? I've got a web page link with cars from about 1909.
Here is the link. Most guys that raced 81 raced here as well. http://winfield.50megs.com/Cowley/start.htm
Thanx for the racing site info, great stuff on there. Super Midwest history abounds. Cool! ~sololobo~
Sorry no pictures but you might try history for CeJay Stadium that operated in SE Wichita from 1945 to 1957. Robbins Speedway at 7700 N Broadway from 1954 to 1958 and then turned in to 81 Speedway in 1958 to present.
