Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

This was some neat stuff. Interesting to see the men in the stands wearing suits and ties. This was the best deal for live entertainment in the burgoining village of Los Angeles before the Rams, Dodgers and Lakers. Very dangerous era in racing.

From 1924 until 1936 at least two dozen drivers lost their lives. Because of this the Glendale American Legion stopped promoting the races in early 1935. They were also losing crowds to the beginning of local midget racing in the area.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
