Jungle Park about 1935?

The first midget race in Indiana was at the old coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgounds in the winter of 1934-35. The first outdoor midget race was at the Butler Bowl on the Butler University campus. The football field is beside the famed Butler Field House and is still used by the Butler Bulldogs for its games. There were two races there in May of 1935.

Name the midget driver who won at Salem Speedway the first time he ever competed there.

Substitute Winchester for Salem and the answer is still Bryan Clauson.:thumb:

And one more who did this in resent times at Winchester.

Mel Kenyon.
May 29, 1972,
That was also my very first race. A few years ago, Mel worked with me iin a booth at the World of Wheels promoting the Rumble in the Dome. We had plenty of time to talk and I was stunned when he told me that day was the first time he had raced at Salem.
One thing I remember about that May day is a sudden spring shower and Jimmy Caruthers arriving late and then practicing alone on the track as it completed drying.

I believe he has been wasting alot of time here the past few years. It may have been his first race in Indiana.
