A brand new 2026 drive presented by Bob Eddy excusively for Schonesland Porsche Club Members
Dams and Tracks is an all-new, full-day driving tour through the scenic roads of south-central Iowa.
This unique route will take us across three of Iowa’s most impressive dams – Saylorville Dam, Red Rock Dam, and Lake Rathbun Dam – while also showcasing several of the state’s most notable motorsports landmarks. Along the way, we will drive past Iowa Speedway in Newton, the historic Greenwood Roadway, which operated from 1963 to 1966 and hosted several prominent racing events, and finish with a visit to Knoxville Raceway, proudly known as the Sprint Car Capital of the World.
We are also currently working to secure permission for our group to take a ceremonial lap around the Iowa Speedway oval. While this has not yet been confirmed, we’re optimistic and hopeful we can make it happen. Keep your fingers crossed!
Event Details
We will meet at 8:00 a.m. in the parking lot next to the Cozy Café in Johnston for the drivers’ meeting. Please arrive with a full tank of fuel.
The first driving group will depart promptly at 8:30 a.m. If registration requires a second group, it will leave approximately 20 minutes later.
Our lunch stop will be at The Rib Shack in Knoxville. We have planned one rest stop before lunch and another after lunch to ensure everyone has an opportunity to refuel, stretch, and enjoy the drive.
The official drive will conclude in Bevington, Iowa, just off Interstate 35, providing an easy route home for everyone.

I look forward to sharing a fantastic day of driving with all of you!
