I for one,am most anxious to see this idea come to reality.
I think it is long over due.
Here is another great site to add to the memories.
I recommend scrolling down to the bottom right & clicking on "US 30 Commercial,to hear an actual radio Commercial by Larry Lujack himself from 1970...

Local legend has it that Joe Satmary and the original We Haul still haunt the place as this was his home track.
I recall seeing quite a bit of U.S. 30 memorabilia at the Don Garlits' museum in Ocala a few years ago.

Here is a vintage pic that my pops took not at US 30 but The Grove in Union Grove WI in July 1969 of Satmarys We Haul Camaro. Note the car has ZL1 painted on the front fender.

I can only imagine the draw that track would get if re-opened...I hope it gets done...

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
