A few may have their own venue to post here so others can feel the true feeling

That would have been a worthy opening line for the late Charles Kuralt's "On the Road" series for CBS Television.
Johnny, I feel so fortunate to have run my first race on the dirt surface at Columbia Speedway. As we started the Columbia Speedway reunions, I couldn't help but feel the history all around me from all those nights spent there watching races on dirt. The dirt surfaces of Columbia, Savannah, Newberry, Batesburg-Leesville and other tracks I don't even remember now, were all the races I saw until my first trip to Darlington in 1957. Even after Darlington, every where else I went to races were dirt tracks. To be a fan and never have seen a dirt race is a big loss. To be a racer and to never have run dirt leaves much to be desired and sought.
