Irving (Yank) Janke Irving
Janke took first place at Dodge City Classic 1916 in 3 hours, 45
minutes and 36 seconds. Otto Walker´s time on a Harley-Davidson when
he lowered the Dodge City record last year was 3:55:45. Think of it,
Janke was pranced around that track with the temperature somewhere
around 110 in the shade just 10 minutes and 9 seconds faster than
Walker´s record that everybody thought last year would stand for a
long time to come. Janke averaged 79,79 miles an hour. Janke also set
a 200-mile record of 2:27:18 and gave the Harley-Davidson camp the
honors for the day. |
