FLORIDA CITY
SPEEDWAY
                                                                 
Hialeah Speedway had hosted mini stock races over a long span of time.  They started in the mid 1960's, about the time Florida City was built, and continued running the class through the late 1970's.  Mini stocks became a weekly class at Hialeah in the 80's, but the cars were from a different generation than the Florida City era.  The modern class ran bigger engines and allowed domestic cars, so the fields were full of Pintos, Mustangs, Toyotas.

This page concentrates on the cars and drivers from the Florida City era: the 1960's through the late 1970's.
Richard Sekman's beautiful Renault gets a nose job from west coast visitor John Josey.  I remember sitting in the stands and watching this unfold.  It made me cringe!  Ok, so neither one were FCS racers, but it is a cool picture.

The Ross brothers hustle their Anglias into turn one.  Gary drove the #87, and Ralph Jr. ran the #2.  Both brothers would move on to race late models a few years after this picture was taken.

Key Largo lead foot Ron Wynn slides his #3 Capri in front of Harold Dover (I think) in the 7 Jr., and Harold Cannon on the outside in the 5 Jr.  Both of these cars were regulars at the Sunshine Speedway in St. Petersburg.

Like the Ross brothers, Ron would soon become a Late Model regular at Hialeah and Palm Beach Speedways.
