Greenwood in Indanola IA

Last night I stopped at the track. The owner was there so I asked if he would mind if I drove on it. He was very nice and said as long as I was careful that it would not be a problem. I didn't have my camera this time but he told me that anytime I wanted to come back I could. The pictures I have posted DO NOT do this track justice. I beleave the main straight has an elevation change in the 100 to 150ft range the whole track is up or down with almost no flat spots. I am going to take a couple of buddies with me along with all of our cars and take pics of them as if they were racing on some of the more interesting parts of the track.

More updates later.

SS wait your turn the powerball is at 30mil tonight and I plan on winning it. Somethings about the track though... the straights are no wider than my VW Passat is long so you would have to do some MAJOR stuff just to make it drivable. A guy named Ruan tryed to get it going in the 80's but found out how much it would cost and desided to make the Greater Des Moines GP in downtown Des Moines instead.

On a side note what should we name Des Moines to get the FRENCH out of it?

Monks, Iowa.
