US30 Dragstrip "Gary", Indiana and Great Lakes Dragway Union Grove, Wisconsin in the 60's 

growing up in Chicago in the 60's and early 70's WLS and WCFL, great stuff and trips to the Grove and US 30 were big time fun, thanks for the meories!

My dad used to race his 440 coronet r/t i know at union grove, im sure at us dragway as well since we live in Chicago,but his buddy that used to work on his car drove pontiacs and is now the nhra hall of fame, Ray Bisig. I remember going to his house when we were kids and hanging out in the garage with the race cars, i think my dad probably missed it at that time, he had been out of it for a few years by then because he had me my brother and baby sister, and i think he didn’t want anything to happen at that time with so many mouths to feed, plus he was working 2 jobs so there wasnt much free time. But as a kid in late 70’s early 80’s it was awesome!!

Recognized many of the cars I used to see at U.S.30, such as “No Big Thing”.

us 30 drag strip became my parents baby sitter. They would drop my brother and me at the track in the morning ,pick use up in the evening, The best childhood one could have. thanks for the up load

Thanks for the upload, I've never see so many 1966 dodge coronet 2 Dr sedan drag cars in my life, made my day.

Growing up in the late 70s.....my friend Ken Zajac from Highland had a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with a New Yorker 440 with a w bbl. carb in it.The car was always black primer.Nice body but nothing shiny on it at all.That car would smoke every Chevy and Ford big block he ever raced.Don't know why but it did many times.Then....he decided to paint it like the Dukes of Hazzard orange.He did a good job and one time he came over and the passenger side was all scratched up from some car in a parking lot in Griffith.Oh well...he said.Now that its nice.....someone has to fu*k up my paint job....lol. RIP Ken

This was a great time to be alive. Thank you for the share. From Ohio.

Seen races with 64(!) Top Fuel funny cars or Top Fuel dragsters a number of times there. My brother and I went sometimes 3 times a week- Wednesday night, Friday night, and Sunday afternoon. U.S. 30 Dragstrip also installed a roller starting system to get the cars started. Before that they push started them with tow vehicles, drove them down the quarter mile, turned around, and came back to race. I think they were the second track to install the roller starter system and Bunker Hill Dragstrip in Indiana was the first. Had a lot of good times at both U.S. 30 and Great Lakes Dragaway.
