      Just seen the Saturday lineup. Could be better. But could be worse. Only time trials will be supers. But I see that dreadful “intermission” word. Hoping to be home by 1. We’ll see I guess. Lol

        BS aside DC..... I assume you'll follow GPS since it's your first trip. Don't let it tempt you with any of the faster routes. Stick to hwy 64 and the Pulaski parkway. If you veer from those youre end up on some piece of a road and stuck behind a horse carriage in Amish country.

        It's lightning fast like tazwell but I heard they were takin away some bank. Maybe you can stomach all of it and not feel robbed

          Do not take Buffalo road by all means I went down it a couple years ago running about 60 topped a hill and all I seen was the @$$ end of a Amish buggy I hit the brakes slid across the road jumped the ditch into a bean field and some Weird Al Yankovic looking f#€¥£r peeping around buggy giving me go to hades looks I was expecting to get rolled up on by some black bumper mennonites but luckily got out and gone by the time Levi got there with the mafia. Anybody going to Thunderhill if you get there early and want to kill some time take a ride through Amish country if you've never been before.

                    The stands has metal coverings where a seat or cushion works, it will be packed. Down front, people take small-med lawn chairs to sit in. The track in the past was a deep very high bank bowl which was so cool to watch the supers run it, one of my favorite tracks. To add, races were over around 12-1:30. www.ThunderhillRacewayPark.com

                                Grandstands have been entirely revamped since my last visit and are chair friendly now (at least the top row). Some new paint around and no banking is cut down.
