Preface The racing results were compiled by J. B. Teters of the Ballinger Volunteer Fire Department. This information was also taken from the Association minutes. Some of the minutes listed only first place times, while some only listed first place results. These records show only the towns that placed first, second, or third. In some cases, the second or third place times might shown a faster time than the first place time. This is a result of a run-off for these places. These records do no show when a host town won a fast time trophy.
