That looks like a really nice set up, it would be a shame to have it voted down, to bad we couldn't give our support over the internet. We had a nice 1/4 mile srtip where I used to live and like most of the others it's gone. In the late 60's it was really going strong. US 30 Drag Strip Merrilliville In.

Richard, where'd you live?? I grew up in Portage and used to go to US 30 as a kid and then again in Highschool. Left for the Navy in '84 and came back and it was closed... Too many people saw the oportunity for "money" in that town, so every bit of land around it was sold for housing, then when the people moved in and got tired of the noise, guess what...shut the dragstrip down even though it was there for 30 years before the houses were...!!
