Racing Notes From Independence Day Meet
Mac McClure could not race due to illness but his car 100 saw its owner happy as Bob Robinson of Jacksonville won the Sweepstakes and the Feature. The Lutz ambulance stood by at Expo Park though no injuries occurred despite several close calls. Warren figures Pike Peterson and others watched from the judges’ stand as rain interrupted a planned Brookville game and kept the locals from many races. Corporal White, a former Warren man, reconnected with friends during his visit.
