1 Opening day races drew 1,400 fans who watched three heat races before the remainder of the program was canceled due to rain.  Glen “Bud” Webster of Winfield, Kansas received minor injuries when he rolled his stock car in one of those heat races.

 

2 No results of these races have been located to date.

 

3 Harold Leep finished in first place in the A feature race and Bill Mears of Wichita, Kansas, finished in second place.  Both cars were inspected after the races and the judges determined that neither car saw within the rules so $50 purse for first place purse the second place prize money was held over to be added to those two places in the races run the following week.

 

4 Harold Leep finished this race in first place but chose to forfeit his winnings after his car was protested by competitors.  The driver who finished in second place was not named in the newspaper article.

 

5 The races took place on this night as the local newspaper reported that Bill G. Turner of Ponca City, Oklahoma was arrested there and charged with assault for fighting but that is all that is currently know about them.

 

6 There was a story in the local newspaper about people who attended the races but nothing appeared about the races themselves.
