I agree. Good day today. Lots of lm's. Who was in the black late nodel with freen sail panels? Had a trailer with #61 that looked like Joe martins old font.

I have to check the place out. This board went from critical to praise in a little more than a year.
My dad drove late models in the early 70's at North Hills, Butler, Mercer, Blanket Hill, and occasionally Tri City. We won the last late model track championship at Blanket Hill.

This is a bit of a haul for us, but with all the great things I'm hearing from this place (on and off the board), I might have to make the trip. We ran there once a couple years ago and were treated like second class citizens. Seems like new ownership has the place pointing upwards.

The ownership has this place rolling. I want to thank them and congratulate Thomas well. It's well deserved (all the positive talk) for all the hard work they have put into the place. Ofcourse there are some ups and downs but this place is one of the best tracks in the area in my opinion. Great people. Great atmosphere! Fast track!. Good surface with great racing!!! Worth the trip there, EVERYTIME!!

Since Robbie has taken over promotion of the track, this place has been outstanding. He has been dedicated to the racers and fans. I may try and run there full time this season. haven't decided yet as it's a bit of a hike to try and get there after work on Friday. Great Pay structure, and love that they do everything possible to get the show in. I have been up there a few times last year with the threat of rain and they pushed the pace of the show to try and get it all in. Awesome job

About 30 miles.

All because of no stupid ass tire rule, and people that understand what the racer wants.

Too bad rain canceled the ULMS show at Thunder Mountain tonight. Was really looking forward to it. May 18th rain date I understand. The place really seems to be on the upswing. Too of the hat to the promoters.
