Many of midget races took place at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds and Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City. This photo is from 1950. This is the track the way it looked before what we see today. I believe this fairgrounds was located east of downtown just of north of the I-40 maybe on Eastern or Martin Luther King Blvd????

I don't recall these midget racers, but it was 77 or 78 at Belleville, KS before they called it the Belleville Nationals. It was just a RMMRA sanctioned race.
Richard Powell in the yellow #43. The yellow car on the outside next to the fence is the #32 owned by Joe Finley, and driven Shannon Finley.
Richard Powell is the only one I remember.
This car was driven by Mike Stroud of St. Louis, Missouri. It was an ex Howard Linnne Edmunds Sesco. This was at RMMRA race in 1977 at the Belleville High Banks before it was known as the Belleville Midget Nationals.
