It makes me sad that all the old drag strips are slowly disappearing. I have been in support of trying to get US 30 reopened since 1984 when it got closed. US 30 Dragstrip is in Hobart Indiana. Its been there for as long as I can remember. I spent many Sundays there as a kid. All the great ones were there. The reason it was closed cause a sub division was built at the end of the shut down area. These people build there knowing that there was a dragstrip there and started to complain about it. How screwed up is that? I want that property...I want the sub division at the end of it. If I had the money...I would make sure it was all mine. I would sell or rent those houses out the car and truck guys...that wouldnt complain. There would be some kind of contract that would be made up that if they complain they get evicted. They would have to sign it to get in there. New name for the sub division...Hot Rod Estates!

Ok I am done ranting.
