US 30 Dragsite
 

I found this interesting website,dedicated to the now Defunct Indiana US 30 Dragstrip.Good Pictures and articles but,Scroll down the righthand side & click on "US30 Commercial" to checkout the Vintage October 5th @5:05 PM 1970 radio spot from Larry Lujack.The Budweiser commercial(Ed McMahon?)at the end is Priceless & Campy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif
Promotes racers like Jungle Jim,Arnie Bestwick,Iowa Twister,and Joe Satmarys WE-HAUL Camaro.(For Frank)
WHERE THE GREAT ONES...RUNNNN!!

I forgot that even you dudes from the sticks of Iowa were still able to pick up WLS. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Here is a piece from my Chi-Town area dealer memorabilia collection. I know that the scan sucks because it is to small but it is as big as I can get it. Larry Lujack is the good lookin gent in the top row middle spot. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Here is the back of that piece. Nickey had a HUGE advertising campaign on WLS for years.

WLS was the station of choice here in Southern Missouri as well. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Larry Lujack, and Tommy Edwards, have been back on the radio for a while now. AM 1690 from Chicago. I think that he actually talks from his home in New Mexico, though. For the past couple of weeks, he has been broadcasting from Idaho because his mother is ill.

Frank, WLS was what they called a clear channel station. Mega watts of broabcasting power.All the way up to Mi, and down though Missouri. KAAY Little Rock was also. Could pick them up pretty good on a clear cool night. And WLS would also give you the hog, and cattle market from the stock yards. I remember they called them "happy hogs". And just outside the front gate of the stock yards was Mr. Ed's dads realty office. Schonye
