I'm trying to find the location of Thunder Valley Speedway in Chocolocco, Alabama. It closed down after only a few seasons. I was there once and want to see if theres anything left when I'm in the area later this month. Theres nothing online to point me in the right direction |

I looked it up on Will White's Auto Racing Records website and it says it was a 1/3 mile dirt which ran from 1989 to 1992 |

It's not the one in Winfield, AL. It is the one that only ran for 3 years. It was somewhere outside of Anniston. It may be houses now or it may be a dead racetrack in the woods. I'm hoping it's the latter and I'd love to explore it if I can find it. |

According to the 1991 National Speedway Directory, Thunder Valley Speedway is located "Two miles east of Choccolocco on Bains Gap Road." It is listed as "Plans of Operation: Uncertain at time of publication" in the '91 directory, and is not listed at all in the 1992 edition. As a previous post says, the History of America's Speedways lists it running from 1989-1992, so it probably ran a couple of races in '92 before the arsonists did their damage. Hope this helps. |

Yup, there it is. Found it. I cannot share pics here, I dont know why but there is a Lost Speedway in the woods on that Bains Gap Rd. That's the one I visited in 1989. Our weekend plans are pretty fluid but if we can get there I will! Thanks everybody! |
