On a note about some old speedways, how about the 'Hole" in Columbus, In. Careys Ranch south of Greenfield, Indian Lake NE side of Indy, and the New Castle Speedway ( not Mt Lawn) in New Castle.

Dusty Goggles, I been tryin to get Butch to come up with the official name for the track, along Clifty Creek, at Columbus. It was called a lot of things, some not so nice, but I think the "official name" was Columbus Speedway, I know that sounds a "little" on the upside, but a lot of folks remember it as "the hole", and "the pit", which seems to fit better, but there were some good races held there. 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
