Maybe not haunted Dennis, but when I'm at The Historic Columbia Speedway, be it middle of the day or in the evening dusk, I can hear the cars of yesterday and almost see them through the dust. I hear the far off voice of Bert Friday as he announces the field coming around for the green flag. Guess my imagination runs away with me.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

I would say Darlington Raceway when i am there i can fill the presentes of Fireball Robberts and little Joe and Curtes Turner and all them guys because back in the 50 s that was the place to be i beleve them drivers hauntthat place to day in a good way

Jim, remember how the sky would turn that eerie shade of darkness and those storms would come in over the mountains from Irondale/Birminghamat Talladega? Scare the heck out of you. That place could give you the willies.

"Any Day is Good for Stock Car Racing"

Back around four or five years ago, at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame where I work, and back when there was still a little cafe inside there, there were two ladies who showed up around 4:30 or 5 Am to make biscuits. Well as they were making them, they heard a car crank up! They went and unlocked the door to the museum from the cafe and there sat old #50 -Gober Sosebee's 39' Ford revving up. Well one of the women went to call the police and they showed up pretty quick. But before they had gotten there, the car shut off. So they went to the main part of the museum and two muffled voices could be heard, but once the cops had turned on all the lights, there was nothing to be found. The weird part of it is, is that the Sosebee family always changes to a dead battery when it's in the museum, and usually the gas evaporates out of it too. Maybe it was Gober and his mechanic making a quick test run?

And one time shortly after this, one of our board member's daughter had an all-night birthday party in our banquet/meeting room in the back. Around 3 AM, they heard something strange and call the cops. And knowing there was a room full of 9 year-old girls, they were screaming their heads off. The police even stayed there till dawn.

Also when I first started volunteering at the Hall of Fame in 2008, if I would have to go into the back storage room behind the meeting room, I would get this erie feeling like i was being watched. It was just weird, but nothing like that has happened in years.

One more thing, around 2 or 3 years ago, I was with my dad and the crew at the museum until about 1 in the Am putting up signs and new displays. I had been there for about 15-16 hours and was dead tired, so I was sitting on a bench inside while the others were on the other side hanging stuff up. And I kept getting this feeling like there were people around looking.

I guess you could call us the Night at the Racing Museum.
