Big Racing Weekend 1947 - Mount Airy / Tri-City / Peace Haven Speedways
Hmm...which one to go to? I think I'll go see the stock cars at Tri-City this time.
Jimmie Lewallen beat out Fonty Flock, Marshall Teague, Bob Flock, and Johnny Rogers in that order for the win in front of 9000 spectators at Tri-City Speedway on that day in 1947.
Some of these old ads mention "calcium chloride treated" or even "oil treated", but nothing beats lots of water.
