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.
