Poster for Southport Airport Races, 1968

Kindly provided by Jim Kellar - drawing by G. Bartell

Southport Airport, Mankato Airport, Breezy Point and Metropolitan Stadium, were temporary tracks used before Donnybrooke became Minnesota's premier race track. The name Donnybrooke was formed from the names of Donny Skogmo and Brooke Kinnard, who both died at Road America in 1966. The above race at Southport was the Skogmo Memorial (not S. Kogmo as quoted on the poster).
