This central Iowa drag strip opened in 1965 while I was still operating Tri State Dragway in Missouri. We were there that day and know how much work has been done to the facility since then. For a time, recently, Gerald Kramer and Scott Gardner operated the track as a companion to Cordova Raceway in Illinois.

When Gardner was tabbed as President of IHRA, he sold his Eddyville share to Kramer and it is now a sole proprietor operation. Gerald was everywhere, giving us a tour in his golf cart, lining up the featured Quick 16 Fuel Combo cars, and even cleaning the track.

When you have a track owner/operator who does all the jobs necessary, the operation is usually successful and that seems very true of Eddyville today.
