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 dragway�s 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 track�s 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 racing�s greatest stars and chronicles decades of the sport�s most memorable moments.
