I recall dad and others calling it the "Hill", because that's where you sat, on a hill by the track.
A few years ago at a Columbus Racers' Reunion, someone had old footage of cars racing out there. Talk about dust!
I was only 7 when it closed, much younger than a few here......
I recall names like Ted Pfeiffer, Freddy Wilbur, Bobby Baker. Geez, am I that old?:2:
