                    2nd photo does indeed look like Thunderbird.

                    1st photo - I still say it is Iowa State Fairgrounds. If I am wrong about that, wow that is crazy how similar it was built...

                        Des Moines Ia. R.I.P., because of the stage in the infield.

                          Could have been any of a thousand old fairgrounds tracks that once dotted the country...

                            Fairground racing most always grows up in weeds. There are few exceptions.

                              I went there for the HAT race back in '99. The big half mile track and the covered stands were awesome,but the race was not that great. Birkhoffer led every lap. Glad I went though because it's a very cool place.
