RIP CTS. But now and then, on a dark and stormy night when thick clouds hide a full moon, may nearby residents swear they hear the roar of engines, the distant cheering of a crowd, and catch a faint whiff of exhaust fumes and smoking tires.

And when the lightning flashes, perhaps they will catch a glimpse of a phantom pace car. Past racers and crew now deceased will again walk through the pits, and when the storm has passed, a weathered checkered flag may be found where the start/finish line once was. Now let's move on.

It really makes me sad to watch Thunderhill get torn back down to nothing! Yes I said Thunderhill cause it will always be Thunderhill Raceway to me. My first job was at URACE driving school when I was 15. When the doors closed to URACE my boss Mike Knight gave me a 76 Cutlass street legal car, a new firesuit and a new helmet and wished me luck on building my first race car. With the help and advice of my dad and a few really great people like Robin Luthultz, John Benker, Ray Riley and a few others my first car was complete! Now I was 17 and on cloud 9 cause I had a race car! I had many GREAT years of racing there and met soo many awesome people that I am still friends with today. I only live a few miles away from the track and each time I drive by and see a piece gone it makes me tear up. To most of yall it was a place to race but to me it was the place that I first raced, first crashed and first won! I raced there from 2001 to 2013 minus 2 different years. I was there the first opening night and cheered on one of my favorite drivers to victory in the #58 camaro. I was even in the neat little video that was made about the race track back in 2002. Funny how fast time goes by. I am sorry to have bored yall with this post but this place really made me who I am today and gave this boy a place do live his dream of racing a car! I really appreciate you all and I am thankful to have met alot of you on here. I look forward to watching yall race at other tracks but Thunderhill Raceway will always be in my heart. Bless you all!
