NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals
- ELEVATION
- 1,475 feet
Bristol Dragway is known as Thunder Valley thanks to the incredible noise created when nitro cars power their way through the mountains that fl ank the dragstrip in Tennessee. The facility hosted NHRA’s SpringNationals from 1965 to 1967 and went under an $18 million renovation in 1996. NHRA returned to Thunder Valley in 1999 to rave reviews.
