The last time I tried this it worked great when I was looking for Charlie Nelson.

 

I am looking for the race reports that were printed in the slot car magazines of the big pro races held  during the time of 1966 to 1972 in Columbus, OH. There used to be two popular tracks in Columbus during that time: Tom Thumb  West, that went out of business last year, and Tom Thumb East, which has been gone since the 1970s. I would like to get the magazine names, years,  and months that would have that information.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rick, I grew up in Columbus from 1950s thru 1960s on the West Side Hilltop area. I remember 3 additional raceways to Tom Thumb , 1st was on corner of Hague and Broad Sts

2 tracks , routed with copper tape ! 2nd was at strip mall across from Big Bear near the drugstore there. The 3rd was off Sullivant near the Sandys fast food resturant across from Westgate Park, Do yo have anyone who knows the names of these raceways? Thanks a million - Capt Zombie

Rick, I have a bunch slot racing magazines packed away. I’m not sure if they cover that period but I will take a look sometime next week.

 

I think you have my number. Shoot me a text so I can talk to you about anything I might find.
