Drag strips around Council Bluffs, Iowa in mid 60s

[Z28DL]

I am looking for the names/locations of the drag strips around Council Bluffs, Iowa and the area back around 1966 through 1970. I am doing some research on a car I own that was raced in that area. Your help is greatly appreciated.

You forgot KCIR and Mo-Kan. Crips, Garden City would have been 300+ miles and Great Bend would have only been about 100 miles closer!!!

LOL...I didn't forget 'em, I just listed the ones in my NHRA book!

KCIR woulda been AHRA, as well as Mo-Kan at the time, I believe...just east of Mo-Kan woulda been Ozark International (Springfield/Rogersville, MO, area), and then there was Mid-America in Wentzville, and of course Gateway further east.
