here's a picture of an early Wichita race track, Speedway Park. this track was located about 2 miles south of Douglas on Meridian. this is a picture of the race held on Oct. 14, 1915 it was won by a Stutz. apparently the track didn't last too long as no one seems to know what happened to it. in 1921 Meridian Speedway opened on the same site but with a 11/2 mile more or less oval track instead of a circle. this track lasted until December, 1923. the bottom picture is of the race held July 4, 1922. the race was won by an Indian.
