    Yes, that is
    Randy Bakers ,.corVette,..

    This is a mix of cars get together, picnic, social meeting of friends,old and new. car show,RACING..did I MENTION FOOD, but most cars there will be mainly Nostalgia,.but
    there will be other racing going on too, bracket cl***es,..
    with the Draglist deal,..we get our rotation to race down the track
    how we want,..match race a buddy,. test,..exhibition, or if
    there is going to be enough cars Bill will probly do a cl*** or two
    to run a chicago or best of 3 race winners or something like that

    its all about fun, showing off your cars,
    running how you want, getting to meet others.
    it gets bigger each year, and should eventually works its way
    to being a real sanctioned event with a purse, and claims
    to fame....
    there will be door prizes and awards givin out, for several
    catorgories,..you like trophies ??

    thanks
    Vic

    HAMBrs, Eddyville is a neat place and a hop, skip, & jump from the Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville. Always reminded me of street racing after the sun went down. Stop thru the town of Pella's original town square and load up on good eats, ain't nothing like a fresh dutch letter.

    Randy used to live around the corner from me, the first paint job on that vette (early 90s?) was better IMO. Definitely one of the best known cars in central Iowa.

    The original motor from my 1957 Desoto Adventurer ragtop turned up in a rail that was raced at Eddyville back in the 60s. Glad to see Edyyville is still going strong.

    Does Karl Moyer "official vehicle supplier of the IHRA" still own that track, or has it changed hands?

    Moyer sold out a couple of years ago to two guys from the Cordova, IL track. They took in a partner who now manages the Eddyville track. They also manage the Cedar Falls track and have formed the Midwest Bracket Alliance a**** the 3 tracks.
