My brother and I ran at US 30 ,late 70s early 80s with a 66 Chevelle with a bored out 402,racing Powerglide and a 4:88 rear end.Cars name was LIFE IN THE FAST LANE.Budget racer .We ran 12 second brackets,loved it.Great people out there ,great people that ran the track,Still miss it.
GLEN, It's been a long time and I do remember watching Bob running many times. I just don't remember what make of car he raced at 30 with. It was a lot of fun being there back then. Hope you enjoy the films not many people had 8mm with sound. I was just young at the time and was into cars and taking pictures and saw this camera and the rest is history. Steve
Think about how much revenue they lost shutting down that dragway in the 80s how drag racing is now all over it's to loud by home owners sorry the track was there 1st ppl knew it the tracks should have rights if was there 1st but I'm sure the city doesn't care about that & just takes fun things away from kids to do on weekends to stay out of trouble now it's basically a field even the track isn't hardly there

Awesome stuff
spent a ton of great time at the 30...no big thing was a great fave as was karen's camaro
Where was the u.s. 30 dragstrip? In Pennsylvania?
There was a number of US 30's but pretty sure this one was Dyer, Ind, just outside of Gary
0:01 was that a hole shot or did the car on the left have a head start because he didn't have a supercharger AA/G
0:00

Pretty sure the sound is 100% dead on
Yes, it is dead on. I was the one who took it and loved those days back then.
