I raced there in the mid to late 50's, then sometime in the early 60's, we had a Kart race there. I was back there in the early 80's, the hillside is so grown over with briars, it's almost impossible to get down the hill, but the layout was still visible. Bob
Yes Bob, it was officially Columbus speedway, but I knew it as the hill.Went there many times in the early and mid 50's
