5/1 - Merchant's Bank 150

Opening Day at Thunder Road is considered as much of a holiday in Central Vermont as Christmas. The 52nd season kicked off on a beautiful Sunday afternoon...one of the first such days of the year. Well over 100 cars packed the pits as a full house packed the stands....EVERYONE was ready to get the fun started!

I have no idea what the estimated attendance was...but can bet that they had a great afternoon!

Things kicked off with "Class Day" as all of the cars gathered in the infield to thank the fans
