Robert Jacobs opened the midget track at his 10-acre racing complex on South River Road, south of Coshocton, on May 10, 1959. The site ran south of and parallel to Brown’s Lane, just north of the General Electric plant. Along with a 3/10-mile oval he laid out a fifth-mile drag strip, reportedly modeled on one in California. It isn’t known whether the drag strip was finished or used.
