Gillette Thunder Speedway, Gillette, WY, June 2, 2007 2007 June 18
After a day of driving through various parts of eastern Wyoming, I ended up at Gillette Thunder Speedway in Gillette WY. Before I arriving t the track, one of the highlights of my trip was taking a short hike in, and driving through, the Big Horn National Forest. Gillette is listed as a 1/4 clay track and the track’s Web site has some nice photos of the track. The main classes on the night I showed up where winged sprints, limited late models and IMCA-style modifieds. The show was ran well and I had an enjoyable night at the races. The car counts and the quality of the sprint cars where not up to the Central PA standards, but they still put on a good race. The two classes of IMCA-style modifieds put on a very good show as well. All-in-all, a successful trip to the races in my 39′th state.
