Good news for New England road racing fans

Postby turbokev » Tue Oct 08, 2013 4:00 am

Thompson Speedway has been in operation for 74 years.. My Dad saw sports car racing there in
the 50's and 60's and I remember him taking me to my first race there in the early 70's.

Many former Cup stars raced Modifieds there in the 70's and 80's.. The Bodine brothers,
Jimmy Spencer, Steve Park, Ron Bouchard etc

As long as can remember, the old road course was abandoned and overgrown and all the
racing I ever went to there was on the 5/8 mile oval..

Thats all changing right now and the 2014 season will feature road racing once again
thanks to a massive reconstruction project.. Can't wait to see it in person next spring~
