FINALLY! After a Winter that seemed like it would never end, freshly painted beasts made their way to the high banks of the coolest quarter-mile oval in the country, Barre, Vermont's Thunder Road. This was my first "pre-season" practice....very cool to see so many cars not yet covered in vinyl! The weather held off long enough for some great action......an awesome reminder of what's to come in the season opener in just five days! Also saw some great contenders for Saturday's Car Show.....completely psyched to get this season under way!!
