My first race was in 1956 at Belle Clair Speedway in Belleville, IL. I was 4 years old at the time and don't remember who won the race. If I was a betting man, Dandy Don Klein probably took the feature. He racked up quite a few wins over the years and I believe he is still racing.

Wow, I had almost forgot about Lake Hill Speedway. Saw some racing there in my youth. It is a shame that they closed the place up as I enjoyed watching racing there. Anyone remember when it closed?
