Bristol Dragway

Bristol Dragway was carved into an East Tennessee mountainside in 1965. In the more than four decades since, the track known as Thunder Valley has carved its niche as a world-class facility in professional drag racing. Located adjacent to Bristol Motor Speedway, the dragways well-earned nickname stems from the unique acoustic experience fans get when the power of unlimited racing engines echoes off the nearby hillsides. Bristol Dragway retraces the tracks early history, its role in shaping the sport, and its return to prominence after an $18 million renovation in the late 1990s. The book features images of drag racings greatest stars and chronicles decades of the sports most memorable moments.McGee, David M. is the author of 'Bristol Dragway ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780738544441 and ISBN 0738544442.
