At Thompson Speedway in CT, firstly i haveto say, anyone into cars and racing ect, attend a nascar or any stock car race, its so much more exciting in person, opened my eyes to another aspect of racing.

i had a great time, there where 8 different races, all different series.

on a sad note though i witnessed an accident that took a racers life. Shane Hammond crashed his midget car and it was not good...his is the one in the billboard in the pics. full story here--> http://blogs.courant.com/autoracing/...idget-dri.html

pics are uploaded to facebook so quality was affected

4 cylinders:

nema midgets:

crash:

late models (stock cars)

the main event, 150 laps, these cars are fasttt, 40 cars on the track at a time:
