How good is Thunder Valley (1 Viewer)

[bing]

I just gotta say that place is frikin AWESOME!! I had the best time this weekend. From the track itself, to the people working there and the racing. I can honestly say I have never had a better experience in my 40 years on this planet. I went strait out to the track from the airport and was put in a car and given a full tour of the whole facility. The nascar track was a real eye opener, I don't follow nascar at all but I will be watching that race for sure. I got there just after the huge storm came through and the place was a mess. Awnings scattered all over the place and the DSR hospitality was a real mess.

I would like to thank all of the staff at Bristol dragway who went out of their way to make sure I had the best experience they could give me. When I was leaving a couple of the girls from the Thunder Valley Club came over and their were hugs all round and one even got quite emotional.

THANK YOU so much to everyone who made this the best weekend of my life. Bring on Epping!!!




Sorry for the rant but I just had to share this with you all.

Glad you had a great time, good weather, & racing. And just think 3 more in a row...

Been saying this for years, this is the best track on the tour. Stands close to the action, folks that work there are great, the noise the way it bounces off the mountains, just a super great experience!

I have heard nothing but good things about Bristol and Charlotte both, too bad they don't pull crowds! I don't think I have ever seen Full stands at Bristol since they built the place, but asking NASCAR fans to go to Drag races obviously doesn't work!

Never raced there, but the facility seems to be great, although from watching the event on TV, the racing surface seemed a little bumpy in both lanes.

There is a spectator tunnel underneath the track at about 400 feet.

We had a great weekend at Thunder Valley, even though the storm chewed up my EZ Up tent, too. Just went and bought another one and kicked back for the rest of the weekend. Good weather, good racing, good folks around us, couldn't ask for more.

Guy, why is that? Not sure I ever heard.

They also had no Comp this weekend, either. That's a definite skip for me, which otherwise I would love to go there.

Very, very short fields when they ran them at the national event.

Darren - I told you how nice the southern people are and how great Thunder Valley is. Glad you enjoyed your experience there.

See you in Epping!!

On a side note, met one of Urs Urbechar's (sp) crew guys today here in New York. He is staying at my hotel. Couldn't understand a word he said but was still pretty cool.
