Incorporation papers were filed here
yesterday for "99 Stadium," the new midget automobile racing park and all-sport
plant which is being erected two miles north of town on 99 highway this spring. The
incorporators are Stanley S. Moore, William G. Hunefeld, and Len H. Honey and it is
expected that the stadium will be ready for racing by the end of May with a seating
capacity for 10,000 people. Promoter Hunefeld said today that CPA clearance was expected
for necessary materials. Midget racing will be held every Tuesday night and the park will
be also used for softball, professional football, and boys recreation.
With obscure notice above--written exactly as it appeared, buried deep in the Sports
section of the Stockton Record Newspaper...

Hunefeld. 1947 Notice the arial picture of the new speedway!
