New Essay by Michael M. Palmieri

The Meridian Speedway in Louisiana posted in Library

Not too long ago I reached out to my father and asked him to write an essay outlining the history of The Meridian Speedway in Louisiana.  He accepted the challenge and has completed the assignment which can be found in the Selected Reading Index of the Meridian Speedway Library on this site.

Accompanying the article are a number of images taken by my father as well as several blueprints of interest which were shared by Mick Nussbaum.  

This article will nicely compliment an article currently being penned by J. Parker Lamb on the role of Michael Havery and the KCS in incorporating this key route into the modern corridor that would be dubbed "The Meridian Speedway".  I look forward to sharing that work in the near future!

Many thanks to my father for authoring and contributing this article!
