Miniature Auto Speedway
1940 - 1960's 

     At the eastern end of the Eden Springs Valley colonists constructed a circular racetrack and built a fleet of miniature gas powered autos.  For decades these little cars produced a steady income and were a popular attraction for park visitors.  These little autos also provided advertisement for the park as frequent participants in the famous annual Blossom Parade along with the prize winning House of David floats.

These cars were made at the Israelite House of David. 

      This was the circular track that was pored by Victor Larson for the Midget Autos.  There were two men who started and built the cars.  One name of Clauson started the project and was replaced by Hans L. Dalager who is seated in this car.    When the baseball came to an end Hans took over the cars and improved the engines.  Many young boys got a job helping out.  Every boy knew which car was the fastest.  They loved to race on the circular track.  It was a great attraction in the park.
