it can't be any worse, atleast you wont have to pay twice at thompson, registrations get you access to everything. i will definitely go, should be a different crowd.

I like Thompson its out in the woods, I think it will be a good time. The gravel parking lot will probably be spectator parking imo.

it seems like that was what 50% of the people in the show were doing anyway and that's why the show lost it's luster years ago. Moscoffian got to money hungry and started letting anyone in the show that wanted to pay the money. Didn't matter if it was a rusted our Caprice or a Ford Tempo with stickers and undersized chrome wheels.

I put the bug in the powers that be ears to see if since we are going to have the crowd in the bleachers if we can go to freestyle burnouts like the turkey burns instead of the stationary ones we've done forever. I'll update when I hear back on that one.
I've been helping run the burnouts up there for years so and even I'll admit it's gotten very stale for a while now.

This will probably be the first year in almost 6 that I won't make it. I agree that yeah its pretty much turned into a "I dont give a shit just pay me-fest" here as of late. Letting anybody with a shitbox pull up on the pad and burn em off kind of chapped my ass about Green Hill. I didn't pay almost $40 for me, my fiance and my daughter to see some asswad pull up in a rotted out capri with 5.slow badges all over it with the walmart slap on hubcaps, vatozone shifter and license plate trim to blow some $5 junkyard tires, or his tired ass engine. But anyways...

Not sure how much better it will be in Thompson as the few events that I have been to there wasn't that impressive. Think its going to be a tough first year trying a different place, but depending on how it is put together will be either the deal maker or breaker.

Going to hopefully still be out of town on my honeymoon at that time, but might make the last day of it. Keep me up to date guys, might be interested in going next year depending how it turns out.

I'm going to venture a guess and say that this is pretty much the end for that show

When it first started, it was the only thing of it's type around here. Now there are many QUALITY run shows in the Northeast all year long.

Hell, there are now some cruise nights that are bigger than the Summer Nats (Bass Pro at Gillette and Mark's in CT) and even they have better control over keeping the shitboxes out... and those are even free!!

it will never be the same.

As far as I'm concerned the Summer Nats are dead. Thompson may be a better place but it won't be greenhill park. I think I'm done going after 18 years or so.

i'm going! i don't care who runs it or where it goes, my family, friends,and I have been going for over 15 years. it is all about the people you surround yourself with and make it a good time. i mean if you've been attending for a long time you gotta atleast go and check it out, it can't be any worse then last year!
