Thunder Valley in Bristol, TN
 

We drove up 12 hours straight on Tue to put this race on....320 entries!!! Broke all records beyond our wildest dreams.

Here are some pics. We leave tomorrow morn for the 12 hour drive back.

320 of the worlds best drag racers with many races won or lost by thousandths or ten thousanths of a second.:eek:
