Eddyville Raceway Park, a historic dragstrip in Oskaloosa, Iowa, is up for sale, marking , but hopefully not the end of an era for this iconic racing venue.
The venerable dragstrip is located approximately one hour southeast of the Capital City of Des Moines.
“I have spent most of my life in racing and race track ownership and operations,” said Gerald Kramer.
“I’m now at the age where I want to slow down a bit. We have a strong financial foundation and business operational structure and tremendous support from many marketing partners,” he continued.
In 1965 the dragstrip was built and started operations. Over the years, Eddyville Raceway Park has become known as one of the nicest ⅛ mile drag racing facilities in the Country.
For six decades the dragstrip has been known as a powerhouse of racing activity. Initially operating under the rules of the AHRA, Eddyville Dragway became quickly known for tremendous ⅛-mile sportsman class racing and for also contracting professional drivers to appear over the years at a variety of events.
Professional driver appearances include Don ‘The Snake’ Prudhomme, ‘Big Daddy’ Don Garlits, ‘Dyno Don’ Nicholson, Vern Moats, Ron Capps, Tommy Johnson Jr, and many more.
In 1993 business mogul Carl Moyer purchased the track and immediately spent hundreds of thousands of dollars upgrading the facility.
