1915 Chicago Speedway Park Poster Print

Today in History……June 19, 1915 Chicago Speedway Park . Indy/Championship car racing first appeared in the Chicago area in 1914-1915 at Galesburg District Fairgrounds. Both races were 100 laps around the 1-mile dirt oval. AAA held races at Speedway Park, a 2-mile board track in nearby Maywood, Illinois. The first such race was a 500-mile event in 1915. Subsequent races ranged from 10-300 miles, and the final race was held in 1918. The track was eventually demolished, and the Edward Hines Veterans Hospital now stands on its former location.

1945 Balboa Stadium Midget Racing Program Poster Print. Measures 17 inches wide x 22 inches tall. A great poster print that would look great in the den, office, garage or workshop. This is one of three poster prints from the Balboa Stadium. Wehave this one from 1945 , one from 1951 and another from 1960. I used to love down the street from Balboa Park down in San Diego. It is hard to imagine that not too long ago there used to be a race track down there. This print looks great all framed up, a simple clean design. Soon Father’s Day will be here and then gone. Not sure if you ordered today you would receive it in time enough for this weekend. Maybe if you ordered today or tomorrow and choose to use Priority Mail it will cut it close.

Getting Back on track with things. Been busy here and there. Father’s Day is right around the corner and I always get pretty busy around this time of year. And usually from about this time on thru to the year end it seems to stay pretty steady.

A lot of car shows to hit, and a lot or events to goto. There never seems to be enough time in the day to get all what I need done. One show going on this Father’s Day is the Eyeson Design Automotive Design Show. We donated some prints for this very special annual event. You will see the prints on display next to cars from that era. The “American Racing: From Dirt to Bricks” display will have all kinds of vintage race cars.

I will not able to attend this years LA Roadster up in Pomona this time around. But I am looking forward to checking out “Event Coverage” on the HAMB while on the road. I have been seeing a lot of postings in the Minnesota area, so thought I would post up a poster print from the 1963 Minnesota Dragway. An AWESOME print !! It measures 14 inches wide x 22 inches tall, and the event took place in May 29-30, …heck that was only a few weeks ago ……and BACK 46 YEARS ago. ! Amazing how time flies. I know I posted this one once before, but I REALLY dig this print.
