George Binnie (1917-1948
George was a race car driver who competed in both midgets and sprint cars. He was the midget track champion at Olympic Stadium in Kansas City in 1941,1945, and 1947. He was killed during a qualification run at the old Oklahoma State Fairgrounds when his car crashed through a retaining fence and struck a tree. It was speculated that George hit the tree rather than hitting a fence lined with spectators.)
