We've got some old school, back-in-the-day, some may say even "Legend"ary folks here who may have been at either or both of these races. If so, please post your memories here ... or on the blog entries. Thanks.

TMC,

I note that - very appropriately - the NSSN article chronicling The King's 1967 Columbia win was written by our own RR member and Columbia Speedway Historian, Jim Seay!

Thanks for noting that Dave. RR's Jerry Bushmire has given me a ton of these articles, and I've noticed Jim's name on the byline for a few of them. Tried to keep a mental checklist of "need to mention this on RR, need to mention this on RR" - but was asleep at the switch today. Props to ya JIM SEAY!
