Thunder Road Dragway, Denver

How many remember Thunder Road Dragway, CDR, Century 21, Erie?

Believe it or not... During the 60's and 70's you could have a 16 Car Top Fuel field made up of Colorado cars only... with alternates.

Attached is a picture of a 55 Chevy ran by Frank Estes from Denver, If anyone has any better picture of this car or his brother Jim's plum colored CC/GS Blown 56 Chevy wagon.... Please post them.
I got my start in drag racing going to the drags with these guys.
