Bristol Dragway is expected to play host to racers from across the country during the May 27-30 Thunder Valley Bracket Challenge, the creation of NHRA Pro Stock winner Dave Connolly and well-known sportsman racers Jeff and Don Strickland.
Top bracket racers from across the country will do battle for a guaranteed weekend purse in excess of $300,000.
"This has been a brainchild of ours for a while,” explained multi-time NHRA and big-dollar bracket winner Jeff Strickland. "We've talked about it and thought about it a lot, and we've tried to develop a race that we'd get excited about attending ourselves, as racers. Obviously, Dave, Dad and I won't be competing in our own event, but we've raced enough to know that certain formats and ideas can make the weekend more enjoyable."
