Midgets to Celebrate
Anniversary Tonight
5 Original
Drivers To
Be on Hand

It's anniversary night at the I'm
perial fair grounds midget race
track.
Two years ago tonight the first
midget races were run on the Ell
Centre speedway east of town on
track that would look like a
18th century trial in comparison to
the smoothly surfaced oval at the
fair grounds.
Only five of the drivers who.
first tromped on the throttle on
valley track win be on hand for
the celebration. The five drivers
are, Ward Swarthout, Hardin
Young, Hobe Herrick, Fritz Sal
men, and Bob Douthitt.
The five original drivers have
dominated the field during the
two years of racing. Hardin Young
has won more main events than
any other driver, Hobe is a close
second and Fred Salmen is a clos
er third. Swarthout and Douthitt
have been consistent place VIM
nerS.
Two Phoenix drivers, San
Diego speedster and possibly a
Los Angeles speed king will be on
hand to make the anniversary race
as unpleasant as possible for the
original SpeedsterS.
The speedway has been treated
with a salt solution during the
past week and will be dust free
The salt solution has also allowed
the ICRA officials to bank the
track slightly more than it was
last week. The banking of corners
is not noticeable from the grand
stand but the officials pointed out
that the track would gradually be
built up until the speedway will
be the fastest dirt track in the
southwest.
