We are interested in receiving images of Racing Events, Cars, Crowds, Facilities, and Advertising/Promotional materials from U.S. 30 Dragstrip in Lake County, Indiana. Opened in the mid-1950's, the track hosted numerous local, national, and specialty events until it closed in 1984. Perhaps best know in the midwest for its radio commercials announcing the "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday" race events at "Smokin" U.S. 30 Dragstrip on WLS radio 890, the dragstrip provided good clean fun (and memories) for the many who attended.

If you have any memorabilia, or photos that you might think would be of interest to others viewing this site, please e-mail us at Nostalgia@VanSenusAuto.com.
