<description><![CDATA[From the late 60's through the early 80's, the sound of announcer Jan Gabriel's voice proclaimed that &quot;Smokin' US 30 Dragstrip&quot; was open on &quot;Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!&quot; and that it was &quot;Where the great ones RUUUNNNNNN!&quot;

US 30 is located in what was once Gary, Indiana, now part of Merrillville/Hobart.  Closed in 1984, it remains abandoned and unsold, despite the efforts of several real estate agents.  The two 1/4-mile dragstrips are overgrown with weeds, as is the return road and the parking lot.  The concession stand is buried in trees.

The &quot;30&quot; here is a closeup detail of the main logo painted at the starting line.
