Old Thunder Valley dragracing pictures

Happy New Years everyone! These are from Thunder Valley Dragway Marion SD around 1969-70.

 

Neat pictures - I was just about to forget my old AMX days.

Thanks.

 

I'm thinkin that flip top AMX was the same one for sale at the
Turkey Run at Daytona last Thanksgiving.

 

Cool pictures.Thanks for posting.

 

Great Shots. I wonder if that one AMX is one of the Hurst S/S cars

 

Fergen, I would love to get copies of those for dad. He doesnt have many of Thunder Valley. If those are 70 he would have the yellow Old "Compulsion".......any shots of that? I only have one of it wheels up on the line.

 

God bless you, good sir.

I used to go up to Marion to race in my HS summers (late '70s); man do these pix bring back memories... especially the HAIR BENDER mopar! Sponsored by the Stewart School of Hairstyling in Sioux City. That's my mom's alma mater - she was a beautician, graduated from to Stewart in the '50s.

 

BUMP, this is Midwest love that doesn't get any press.

 

thank you, thank you , thank you.

 

Bttt

 

Thanks Tman. I put some more pictures from the late 70s early 80s on my site but there is about a hundred and I thought they were a little OT for the hamb.But....

Oh man.... I spent countless Sundays at Thunder Valley when I was growing up (80s/90s)... it IS 2007 already! My dad raced a 9 second Kawasaki up there. He still has the bike and brought it back to life a couple years ago.

It is just a great old track that won't quit. I love it. Has a laid-back, bad-*** vibe similar to Mo-Kan.

Thanks for sharing the photos!
