Re: Drag Strips of Yesteryear
US 30. It looked just like that when I dropped in about 5 yrs ago on the way home from a swap meet in Crown Point. In fact the pics could have mine. I just drove in, even drove down the old strip, which is mostly gravel now. Started going there in 61. Sure do miss it!

Re: Drag Strips of Yesteryear
I wish that I was around back then. I would have loved to go to thoes old drag strips! I have many old poloroid pictures that my father took at Union Grove Wis. in the summer of 1969. I am going to bring them to Vette Fest to show anyone interested. Their is a cool one of a ZL1 prepared 69 Camaro taken in June of 1969. Really cool! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
