Event Coverage Thompson Speedway Swap and Flea Market

What is the skinny on this event??? Would it be worth a 4.5 hour trip??
Anyone attending?? for the geographically challanged, Thompson is in the NE corner of Connecticut.

Ha - literally 15 minutes from where I grew up, now about 30 minutes from my home. It's pretty good, but a lot of roundy roundy stuff, yeah. Usually fills the whole speedway, pits, it's a good sized event.

I'll be there both Saturday and Sunday hopefully. Definitely Sunday.

Lake Compounce is the 9th.

Might as well post in 2009, seeing as I posted to this post in 2008.

I'll be going Saturday, can't go Sunday.

Lake Compounce is great to sell a car at, but Thompson has real race car stuff, not so much Camaro.. least that's my 2 cents. Going to Thompson for sure.

 

In my back yard over 100 acres of spaces and close to 2,000 Vendors!Both Saturday and Sunday Adults tickets are 10$ I think kids under 12 free

 

If the weather is clear, this event can be pretty huge. I've had good luck there over the years and never miss it if I can help it. The above guys are right, absolutely tons of circle track stuff, but plenty of vintage stuff too. I prefer it to Stafford Springs.

Certainly worth going if you're within easy driving distance. Get there early, either day.

 

there both pretty good, car coral at LC is great.
