Ira T. McIntire Connie Bellamy collection |
These races were originally scheduled to
be run on Saturday afternoon, July 21, 1928 but were rescheduled until the date
above for an undetermined reason.
Several races were scheduled for this program but very little has been
learned about any of them. The following
race results for the 14 cars entered, are what little is currently know about
these races:
Ira Thomas
McIntire of Arkansas City, Kansas was driving a Ford Rajo special #44
owned by Joe Hutchinson of
Arkansas City, Kansas. He won one
preliminary race and finished in second place in another before he won the
Sweepstakes race.
Russell Darius “R.
D.” Hill of Arkansas City, Kansas entered his own Hill special Laurel
Ford #15 in these races. He finished in
third place in one of those races but it has yet to be determined which of the
races that was.
Forest Shipman
“Blackie” O’Bannon, alias “R. F.
Dutton” of Arkansas City, Kansas entered his own Hutch special
Chevrolet #45 that had been built for him by Russell D. Hill. O’Bannon placed in third place in one race
and fourth place in another race but it has yet to be determined which of the
races those were.
