Hi, my name is Beth & I just thought I'd try this site to try find out some information on my Grandfathers old race car. I often get ask who owns it now & I have no idea & I'm curious myself. My Grandpa was Johnny Colombo, he built & owned a red & white checkerboard Midget (I think) race car in the 50's. His driver was named Brownie. We have many scrap books full pictures & newspaper clippings of all the races they went to every weekend when my Mom was growing up & we also have dozens of huge trophies they won over the years. He owned a auto repair shop for many decades in the town I live in & everyone always remembers his racecar & what a brilliant machinist he was. If anyone knows who i'm talking about, has any stories about him, or info on whatever happened to that old checkerboard racecar, I sure would love the information.

Thank you:)
