Re: “Live” from Bristol 2023!
Hey guys, we are here at Bristol Motor Speedway in the stacking area, at the Thunder Valley Nationals. Its raining today, but the rest of the week looks great with temps in the mid to upper 70's and no rain in the forecast. Here is my first part of the trip as we roll into Bristol...

Parking starts at 800am, stacking is almost full. Almost 8% of the entry’s in stock are current or former world champs. It should be a fun race. Two run’s Friday and four round’s Saturday. Sunday semi’s and finals.

We all run the same road and attend a lot of the same races but when the Boss does his video it just makes it more exciting.

Re: “Live” from Bristol 2023!
Parking went well for the first nine rigs. Number 10 inline, the taxi cab hauler, the driver of the rig was no where to be found. Joe Tysinger did a great job of backing up and threading the needle between two rigs to get out. We backed up to give him room to maneuver. Then we got the go a head to turn around and go inside.
The track look very nice all green and very hilly. Last edited by Larry Hill; 06-08-2023 at 08:56 AM. |

Re: “Live” from Bristol 2023!
One of the best parts of racing is the exchange of ideas from other racers and engine builders. Suspension, tires, and track prep are usually at the top of the list.

Stock. We should qualify a little better than Chicago. Plus there are few cars in FS/D

Re: “Live” from Bristol 2023!
After parking and everyone was getting settled in the fishing poles appeared. Quite a few folks went fishing in the stream that runs through the pit area. Cooter, the champ, and his son spent a lot of the day trying to catch the limit.
There is a big H-D dresser motorcycle contingent that as soon as they were parked the bikes were unloaded and they were off enjoying the mountain roads. The boss , Ken , came by and showed us his new Honda pit ride. Stock is out first at 9:30 AM. The scales at three different tracks have been within five pounds. There should be no surprise at the scales. |
