Drivers Stage Exhibition Amid Rough Track at Texas Fair

Drivers opted for an exhibition rather than a full program, delivering three engaging races with no accidents. Cino Raimey won the 28-lap free-for-all, with Dunne and Melean strong in earlier events as Clark Cutting and Meleau faced radiator and magneto issues.
