Thorn Hill?

Post by RebStew on February 10th 2010, 12:21 pm

I keep asking everyone but no one seems they want to go. I'm game for Tri State but I just have a feeling that Thorn Hill won't be around long. I wouldn't mind getting some guys and hitting it one time just for old time sake.
I'm sure there will be plenty of time spent at Tri State. If we hit Edgewater I may go but won't run. After sitting in the lanes for an hour to race the last time I swore never again.

I need to make the trip up. I have nothing to race but I just want to be there.

No matter what, I suggest taking alot of pictures. Many cool nostalgic places are going away and I feel it's our responsibility to document them for future generations. Don't get me wrong, first order of business should be to attempt to save them, but just in case it's not possible. Take the pictures now.

We're living the future's history right now.

Last time I was there it was like racing on a gravel road, and with a nice bump in the right lane always made for some interesting steeringwheel play Shocked .....

That bump was there in the 80's the first time i raced, it just makes it that much more interesting.

Turn around at the train over pass and head back. What a ride RT 8 was. lol I cut that 34 loose right there by myself the night before I took the stall, rearend and intake set up off. Only place to cut it loose and no one around. Fun times! Very Happy
I remember we had like 8 cars out there racing one Saturday night. Those boys in the 70? Chevelle from Covington with the hidden NOS that ran under the intake was out there that night. I don't think they won a race other than beating Dave Ackerson's Buick wagon. And that wasn't by much.

They beat me in that chevelle once. Didn't know about the nitrous at the time. It was close then too.
