I thought some of the members here would be interested in reading this article in today's Northwest Indiana times:

Got a card from a guy at VF who is putting on a US30 Reunion. Wants me to have the '68 Dick Harrell funny car there, as Dick and this car raced there on numerous occasions. As far as I know, just a reunion, no racing.

Not too far from Morocco, IN, and US41 International Dragway, which I found out is just a notch above a hole in the wall...but boy oh boy was the Yellow Submarine flyin' that day...https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Tom, did they set a date for the reunion?
The dragstrip reopening will be an uphill battle with regards to zoning and enviromental issues. Things have changed <u>ALOT</u> around here in the last 20 years since they last raced.
Local legend has it that Joe Satmary and the original We Haul still haunt the place as this was his home track.
I recall seeing quite a bit of U.S. 30 memorabilia at the Don Garlits' museum in Ocala a few years ago.

I for one,am most anxious to see this idea come to reality.
I think it is long over due.
Here is another great site to add to the memories.
I recommend scrolling down to the bottom right &amp; clicking on "US 30 Commercial,to hear an actual radio Commercial by Larry Lujack himself from 1970...

Here is a vintage pic that my pops took not at US 30 but The Grove in Union Grove WI in July 1969 of Satmarys We Haul Camaro. Note the car has ZL1 painted on the front fender.
