I'll ask my dad on Thanksgiving about Pride and the Speedrome. We lived 4 miles north of the track on Green River Rd. and my dad took my brother and myself to the track a few times. I mainly remember wheels always flying off of the jalopies. I was born in 1954 so I was pretty young when we went. I remember a totally wooden covered grandstand with it's back to Green River and you entered the parking lot off of Green River. Arnie Knepper would run his midget there and dad was a big fan of his. I'll hopefully have more info tomorrow. Fifth mile sounds right. Some guys on here would know about St. Joe Speedway on St. Joe Ave. north of Diamond Ave. That was before my time.
