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 ![http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4971/dsc02785fe0.jpg](http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4971/dsc02785fe0.jpg) ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7783/dsc02786vw9.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7783/dsc02786vw9.jpg) ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3844/dsc02787zp1.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3844/dsc02787zp1.jpg) 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 🙂 ![http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6306/dsc02788do8.jpg](http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6306/dsc02788do8.jpg) And of course a ‘few’ cold beers on hand 😃 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: ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/4131/dsc02784rc3.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/4131/dsc02784rc3.jpg) Took these pics from down on the starting line of the track around 2am saturday, kept waiting on a security guard to run us off, but luckily no-one ever showed up 🙂 ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8183/dsc02758dz3.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8183/dsc02758dz3.jpg) ![http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5141/dsc02748sb0.jpg](http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5141/dsc02748sb0.jpg) ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5219/dsc02761ke9.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5219/dsc02761ke9.jpg) ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3879/dsc02760ho7.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3879/dsc02760ho7.jpg) Took some pics from where our RV is parked, 1/16th of mile past the finish line ![http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/4149/dsc02770fm1.jpg](http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/4149/dsc02770fm1.jpg) ![http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/8247/dsc02776uf6.jpg](http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/8247/dsc02776uf6.jpg) ![http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/1204/dsc02778ga3.jpg](http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/1204/dsc02778ga3.jpg) This pic below will give you an idea of where our RV is parked in relation to the track and the finish line ![http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/5553/dsc02791hs1.jpg](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/5553/dsc02791hs1.jpg) Now some pics of the pits, ran out of battery, my recharable batteries are on their last leg and didnt have any others ☹ know now for next year ![http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7949/dsc02789om4.jpg](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7949/dsc02789om4.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/3742/dsc02799gu6.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/3742/dsc02799gu6.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/2882/dsc02800nh3.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/2882/dsc02800nh3.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7373/dsc02801nb4.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7373/dsc02801nb4.jpg) ![http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/3999/dsc02802pp8.jpg](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/3999/dsc02802pp8.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/3645/dsc02803ly0.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/3645/dsc02803ly0.jpg) ![http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6468/dsc02804dc6.jpg](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6468/dsc02804dc6.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/2302/dsc02805bw8.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/2302/dsc02805bw8.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/9081/dsc02806wr4.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/9081/dsc02806wr4.jpg) ![http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6888/dsc02808ze9.jpg](http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6888/dsc02808ze9.jpg) These next 2 pics are the back of two of the trailers/haulers for a couple of the race teams, i thought it was pretty cool how they are painted/decaled ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/189/dsc02809ic8.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/189/dsc02809ic8.jpg) ![http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/5554/dsc02810nv2.jpg](http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/5554/dsc02810nv2.jpg) ---
