I'm planning a quick trip to Ohio in Sept to go to a speedway meeting near Roseburg (Eldora). A couple of years ago I hired a car at Indy, went to the drag racing and then Eldora. This time I was just looking at a quick trip, fly into Columbus, speedway then back home.
Would anyone know a reasonably priced rental car company in Columbus?? last time I went Hertz (first trip to USA, wanted to play it safe) and it was ok but pretty expensive.
I'd really appreciate any info.

Thanks Designate, I'll try kayak.com
Some of you guys are funny buggers. It's my second trip. I did notice a difference in the campgrounds between Eldora and Indy.
Had a ball though that's why I'm heading back. The USA is nirvana for a rev head like me. The rural Midwest is a interesting place to spend time in. I live close to the city centre of a major city here and while I'm not one of the SJW wankers, I'm not a bogan either.

I was just in Columbus last Saturday. They had done a lot of work on some of the roads. They weren't bad, but made them better. Kudos to the Ohio Department of Transportation. They did a lot of work on interchanges especially, which can be real bottlenecks.
I kind of wish I hadn't left.

Just discovered this thread and it brought a tear to my eye. I went to school in Cowtown 30 plus years ago and can testify to how its changed. I still have family there, so I hear about it all the time. I try to get back to it every other year.
German Village was known as Homo Heights in the late 70's, so not much has changed. The Short North is a shock. It began to go artsy over 20 years ago, prior to that it was Hillbilly Heaven.
Back in my day, you didn't venture far south down High Street unless you wanted to get into a fight in a redneck bar.
One of the most terrifying things I ever saw was a fat hillbilly woman as she pushed a half-dead elder in a wheel chair. This was near Victorian Village before the city cleaned that area up. The Garden District was known for the Garden Theater which was a notorious burlesque dive years ago. Things changed rapidly after the convention center was built around 1980.
Did I hear someone mention Crazy Mama's? Jesus H Christ, do I feel old.
