Sandy,

I went back to 1st annual TQ National Championship program for a race held at Richmond (IN) on 9/21/57 - it noted the formation of the Midwest TQ Assn at the Rushville Airport (I wrote about this a bit in a SC & M article on the UMRA a few years ago) in 1951 and an indoor race was held at Hobart Arena at Troy Ohio (I have this program and Don Hewitt was a participant -or at least entered ). What really confused things is that by 1957 the Midwest TQ Assn is based in Muncie (a home base for the Mutual Racing Assn Roadsters)- At Columbus Oh the Buckeye TQ group was formed - and at Salem (undoubtedly at the fairgrounds)The Mutual TQ group was formed - The UMRA as a 1970 promotional flyer notes was formed by "uniting" Midwest with other existing clubs in Fall, 1960.
