I've seen a video on Greatlakes and in this video the track was called Van's Greatlakes, who was Van?

Bob sold the track once in the early 70's but wound up getting it back. I only remember this cause the first few times i went there to run my car in 1975 they kept saying that Broadway was back running things. I have no idea who he sold the track to.

Sometimes ya just need a little reminder .....

Coulda been Joe VanDalwyk who built and ran both a drag strip and oval track at Kawkawna, WI, north of Green Bay. Runs in my mind he took a shot at G/L wanting to expand operations.

Joe suffered a heart attack during his ownership ,and then decided to cut back on his work load. His son Roger still operates Kaukauna..
