This photo of Dick Walker of Arkansas City, Kansas in the Charlie-Strope-owned #71 coupe, was taken between turns one and two at the Cowley County Fairgrounds at Winfield, Kansas in 1958.  While it may appear from this photo that the racetrack crossed a railroad track, it did not.  The Missouri Pacific railroad track passed along side the racetrack about 30 feet at its closest point from the first and second turns.  There was also a narrow access road positioned between the railroad track and the racetrack - All photos on this page are from the Gary Virden collection.

Left to right:  Lyle Baker, Dick Walker, and Gene Bullard.  Walker raced this Elmer-Orton-owned car at Winfield, Kansas in 1956.
