Cars were quieter back then.

Very cool!

Brings back memories as Thompson Speedway was the place I experienced my first live racing, albeit over a decade later than the video. Oval, Ro-val, road course, Thompson had it all over the years.

Thanks for the link.

I grew up watching guys like Bugsy Stevens, Richie Evans, Mike Stefanik, Greg Sacks, and the rest of the bunch race modifieds around Thompson. The place hasn't changed all that much.

They have awsume swap meet! Always good deals. I got my bender for $80 with 2 die sets. Guy didn't want to lift it in to his trailer one more time...
