Columbus Speedway, closed in 1958. Just off State Road 7, a little southeast of town.

Seems like Shelby, Decatur and Jefferson Counties all have tracks suitable for TQs.

Climbing the steps on my way to the press box at Haubstadt, I'd see Jim and had to talk with him a bit. One of the good guys.

When I speed up the steps to the press box, I'll miss seeing Jim's handsome, smiling face. Will have to settle for Al's handsome mug and Jerry Shaw's made-for-Hollywood countenance.

Best wishes,...

Once you visit Columbus, you may have found yourself a fine place to live. Halfway, more or less, between Kokomo/Gas City and Haubstadt. Even Eldora is less than three hours away.

Lots of people,...
