Bristol

Copy Pasted from a friend of mine.

This trip made 5 years in a row for us to goto the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, TN held at Bristol Dragway.
First, our means of transportation. We take my buddy’s 1984 34foot Southwind motorhome, pictured here

As you can see, we have all the comforts of home, satellite, internet, tv inside and out and a nice awning at the back so we can watch the action out of the sun :slight_smile:

And of course a ‘few’ cold beers on hand :smiley: thats the best cooler ive bought, it will hold ice and keep drinks cold in the sun for 3 days, it will hold 24 beers and 10 pounds of ice :yahoo:
