Any info on Greenwood Roadway in Iowa?

[chuckbrandt]

Does anyone here have any information or photos from the Greenwood Roadway (also known as Raceway) track south of Des Moines, Iowa? It has been closed for many years.

Pretty interesting race there July 19, 1964. Any further stories or info would be very interesting.

Thanks, Chuck

The winner of the race above, Ed Leslie recently died. Here is the Obit from laguna seca. That's sad.
