World of Outlaws Race Car
If you have never had the opportunity to take in a World of Outlaws race or have never been to a dirt track in the mid-west here is a video for you. It is an exhibition run of a World of Outlaws race car at the famed half mile dirt track at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
We visited there this summer and just had to take in a race at this track that has seen its share of stars over the years. I had not visited for many decades but the racing has gotten better and the food was more than I expected but the highlight of the evening was seeing a World of Outlaw car hit the old dirt half mile at full song.
Oh what I would give to have this track in Middle Tennessee!
My boyfriend had several pictures of himself driving a sprint car in 2004 Oskaloosa Iowa Race. They were distroyed and we are trying to find someone who might know who took the photos or anyone who may have known the owner. The Owner was a BIG guy named Steve Mitchell and my boyfriend was his driver, Chris Miller. If you have any ideas or know anyone we might contact we would appreciate your help. He had alot of fun and the pictures he had were all he had. One he is standing right by the car. Something about X car. Hes not here right now for me to ask what the X ment if it was the sprint car he drove or what. Guess he did pretty good at that race. He loves talking about it. He tried to Find Steve and as told that he was deceased. Thank you for any help. We thought if we could find out who took the pictures we could get some copies. I also was involved in the races, Dont know if you know of it Olympia Stadium in Kansas City and I-70 in think in Odessa. My ex and I were friends with Pappy Weld and all his sons. The Morgans used to take alot of the pictures back then. I was a trophey girl at the races once, my ex still has that picture. Thank you again. You can reach Chris or I at 816-872-8269. These werent famous races but a whole lot of fun. Thanks Chris and Brenda
