Hansen Park Stadium still hosts Chicago Public High Schools sports in 2009. The local alderman back in 1948 helped killed off midget racing because of noise complaints from the neighborhood. The track is at Fullerton and Central on the the northwest side of Chicago.

Thanks Vukie.

From an old Chicagoan, I can appreciate Stan's website. Didn't see this until you brought it up.
