Dirt Track Racing at its best.
Check out the hay field behind the track. This facility is inside the City limits of Oskaloosa. Three cheers for the citizens of “Osky” for letting this continue and no complaints about the noise or the dirt.
f you want to get up close to racing and have some fun check out your nearest dirt track. If you don’t come home with dirt on your smiling face you weren’t paying attention.
We recently visited my favorite dirt half mile in Oskaloosa, Iowa; the Southern Iowa Speedway.
Hope you enjoy the following photos as much as I did taking them.
Some of these cars really didn’t need but three tires; the left front almost never touched the ground!
One of the best run racing evenings I have ever seen. These guys line them up and run the next heat onto the track as the completed racers are pulling in off the backstretch. No wasted time. I think they ran 12 races the night we were there.
These are photos of a couple of vintage dirt track cars out of the NE that were in the area for the historic racing events.
That’s all folks!

The Black 39 reminds me of when i was a kid in micigan. We use to race at Owendale Speedway In late 60s to early 70s and I believe they were called Whitamore Coupes.
