1955-10-08 – Fonda. This was Ken’s first win at Fonda. This particular race was held the night before the big Langhorne National Open (won that year by Pete Corey), and some of the fastest cars/drivers had skipped Fonda in order to be at Langhorne. Thanks to Ed Mudd for the information. Photo by Dan Ody, via Bill Ladabouche.
