In 1957 Half Moon Bay Airport became one of racing’s fastest, most attractive quarter-mile drag strips. Located just outside of San Francisco, Half Moon Bay Dragstrip, became the largest drag strip in Northern California offering bleachers, concession stands, a safety net, and a timing tower constructed from a bread van, to its many fans. Big name racers, including “Big Daddy” Don Garlits and Don “the Snake” Prudhomme, attracted enthusiasts from across the United States to witness the historical race in which Garlits pulled off an unexpected win though Prudhomme’s name had been etched into the trophy even before the race took place. Although racing stopped in 1969, the nostalgic memories of Sunday morning’s roaring engines, wild cheering, and buzz of adrenaline-fueled excitement live on in the tales of drag racing.

A little known fact is that Indiana was a major player in the origins and rise of drag racing. The world-famous U.S. 30 Dragstrip opened 1957 in Hobart, Indiana, though it is rumored to have been open as early as 1954. In the 1960s, the owners began running radio ads and the iconic slogan, “Where The Great Ones Run!” causing hoards of Northwest Indiana and Chicago residents to flock to the dragstrip. The U.S. 30 became a wildly popular destination as major racers in the sport came to compete. “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Don “The Shoe” Schumacher, and Chris “The Greek” Karamesines are just a few of the big time names bringing the masses to the sidelines for a Sunday heart stopping thrill.
