What you are looking at is Thompson 2. One was small (and before my time) Two used a little bit of one but was much longer. There was a hillside the cars went up + over. And the workers stations were dirt mounds right on trackside. (Minor memories of the place. I would have been about 5 y/o.) Gonna say it changed to

The best one in the area. Particularly if you’re after race car parts. Stafford swap is when people are still racing-it’s mainly collectibles + Dukes of Hazzard lunchboxes.

Which version of Thompson are pining about? 1-2 or 3? One was before my time-I can remember very little of two-I do remember 3 (closed in 75?). And this version (3.1?) from what I’ve seen on videos is the same as 3 with minor changes.

Yea-lets make the list 11 to ad this.

Back when monster truck first came out, I went to a show at Patriots statium in Foxboro Ma. 2 trucks and tractor pulling for a fill in. But everyone was there to see the trucks. Bigfoot + Boss Hog. (which i think was rumored to pre-date Bigfoot. Ran out a a tabacco farm in Ct.) The place SOLD OUT for 2 trucks! And

Except that the original handled poorly-and had terrible aero lift at hi speed. Now explain to the judge when you get sued when someone gets killed that you knowingly copied a poor design. Oh wait-they do that all the time with Cobras....

She found her boobs and can count to two. Geez-your standards are so high.

Some say he named his first car Brad-and never got over totalling it...

Well-at least they take longer to rust out.

Was he wearing a powder blue leisure suit?

“Its more fun driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow.”

Saw one on CL the other day-had to open the ad just to see what it was. Ford ‘ascap’

Too many things spelled correctly to be an actual Craigslist ad.

Harvick seemed to have a fuel delivery problem-it would only run up to a certain rpm. I never heard them say it had no oil pressure-just it wouldn’t rev up.

Excuse me-then please explain how a dry sump pump works. I’ve only built maybe 100 engines with them (AutoVertie sp*-Peterson-Aviad-Bailey). Always willing to learn more.

So-if you drop a dry sump pump-with a aluminum body 3/4” thick-that has a hardened inner + outer gear-it can last all of dyno break in-practice-qualifiying-and 2 hours of racing—before it fails? It would chew itself up in the first 2 minutes-and they engine shop would have seen chips in the oil right away.

It disappers twice a day like magic.

I used to race at dirt track that adjoined the runway to Westfield (Ma.) air force base. One of the highlights was A-10’s doing touch + goes all day. The road into the pits was basically an extension of the runway. The pilots who put the planes on the numbers would be coming overhead 100 ft-so low you could tell what

Wheres the feet up sideways? I came in for feet up sideways-steelshoe click-bait!

Mmmm-smoked big green eggs....
