Get Good Crowd
The stock car racing program at the fairgrounds Thursday, put on by the Southeast Kansas Racing Club of Coffeyville and under the auspices of the Winfield Lions club, was well attended and the fans witnessed expert handling of the equipment which had plenty of power for the half-mile track which was treacherous on the turns.
Officials were Roy Duncan, association secretary, entry recorder; Cleo White, starter; Bill Bowser, announcer; Harold D. Jaggers, Lester Hine, and Fred Savage, technical staff.
