US 30 Dragway Hobart, Indiana circa 1965

My dads (Corvette) and uncle's (Pontiac) drag racing at US 30 Dragway about 1965 recorded on home movies.

In the 1960s the owners discovered radio advertising, and they placed memorable ads primarily on WLS Radio in Chicago. An overexcited announcer would shout “Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! at the beautiful US 30 Drag Strip” and go on to announce the slate of stars on hand for that weekend. The announcer would then remind us in the same overexcited voice that the US 30 Drag Strip was “Where The Great Ones Run!”.
