Since the early 1900�s Belleville, Kansas has hosted thousands of drivers and hundreds of thousands of race fans. That first auto race in 1910 initiated what fans experience today�breath-taking speeds on what most will agree, �The World�s Fastest Half-Mile Dirt Track�. The lure of the Belleville High Banks is more than just super-fast speeds; it has an atmosphere which can�t be duplicated, an atmosphere which can�t be explained�only experienced. On July 3rd, 1910 three drivers broke ground in auto racing history and established Belleville as the longest, most consecutively operated race track in the world in terms of years. While the three original cars have long since disappeared, the brand names remain known. Ford, Buick and a White Steamer placed the High Banks on the face of America�s racing map. Not many race tracks on our planet boost a museum commemorating local auto racing history. Belleville, Kansas can boost. They have earned the right to boost.
Learn more about the High Banks Hall of Fame and National Midget Auto Racing Museum this Saturday night-May 10th at Junction Motor Speedway. Museum Staffers will be located in their display near the Fan Walk Wind Tunnel.

will "high banks" night be rescheduled?

Yes it will! Barb will study the schedule and determine when 'High Banks Hall of Fame Night' can be factored in.
Would you like to meet Belleville's first winner?
Maybe you had other plans on July 3rd, 1910 and couldn't work the High Banks into your schedule that day?
Maybe, with the July 4th, 1910 holiday in mind, you started partying early and your eyes could not focus on the road map to Belleville?
Maybe fuel costs had just soared to .17 cents per gallon making you re-think the trip to Belleville?
or)
Maybe it had rained so much that the highways (which were dirt then) were impassable?
98 years ago, W.W. (William Wayne) Brown of Kansas City won that first race in Belleville!
With a little time on your hands because of no racing tonight, please meet W.W. Brown on SPEED SECRETS iVision at:

Show: #08-1 - Quick Clip.
Featuring: 1910 Motor Sports, W.W. Brown.
