Steve has so many engines out there now he could just drive from event to event in a big van full of spare parts just to help service all his customers.

Moved to east Tennessee 30 years ago and have loved every minute of living in this beautiful state!

[@ianstephens8533]

I moved here (Kingsport then Surgoinsville) 14 years ago from Sarasota Florida and absolutely love it. I miss the beach but the people, weather, cost of living, and scenery are great. I love the country life and won’t ever live in the city again.

[@edmelungeon2239]

Shhhhh. Stop telling people. We have too many people now!

[@toddhatch3468]

I live about 6 hours away and we visit that area every chance we get!! Beautiful corner of the country.

[@toddhatch3468]

Sitting at the top end of my local track, watching Steve do his thing in-between rounds. Awesome how he supports all the people running his stuff!

[@jasonstormoen]

​@ianstephens8533 I spent 40 years in South bend, IN, and now live I Asheville, NC in the heart of all the beauty for 8 years now, but I have a cottage on Boone Lake in Johnson City, TN, just 9 mile (10 mins) from Bristol and another in Gatlinburg. All a very nice area.

That's my home track! Wish I could of come meet you! I must say I came to street care takeover when ckeetus was there and I was very disappointed at bristols track prep! Hopefully they did better for you guys better then they did cleetus! It took cleetus complaining to the track before they stopped and preped and even then it still wasn't that good

Steve it's gotta be so cool to be at a place like that and event like this knowing your engines are running the pack wtg man you deserve it

Beautiful view Thunder valley those mountains wow what a awesome spot to be let alone race 👌

[@NOQUARTER_]

I remember the very first time I came to Bristols Thunder Valley. I was like 8 yrs old, and it was the very first Super Chevy Show I'd ever been to. My entire family went there and stayed for the weekend, then went to Gatlinburg for a week. That was the deal between my mom and dad lol. Me and him got to go to the drag strip and my older brother, younger sister, and mom got to go to Gatlinburg. I'll never forget that place. I remember the Jolly Rancher firetruck wheel stand car lol😂

[@marklottero5345]

The layout of Bristol and the scenery is just awesome!

[@camillethetacoturd7210]

Thank you for showing us the scenery and what you can see around the track. I personally have never seen it before end of only been looking at the buildings for the most part.

[@ThebadMAN747]

Rusted valve spring = break... Learned that from some really good motor builder..

[@MosinMan76254]

I was thinking the same thing. Who was that motor head that taught us this thing... hah!

[@laneeric]

Iirc didn't Steve note that the broken rusted valve springs were from methanol RUN engine, put away w/o clearing the system? If the other guy had never started or run it AT ALL, then the issue is valve fatigue from being compressed and stationary for 3 years.

[@johnminutolo-xr3hn]

Honored to have you at bristol. Besides Cleetus the thing I've looked towards the most this year was seeing you guys

[@richardlong6097]

As someone proud to identify as trans-Tennessean, it is a great place to live. Truly one of the last bastions of individual freedom left, which is why we've been flooded w so many leftugees. The drag strip is on of the best in the country. Although I had no clue there was anything going on, the organizers need to step up their marketing game. Good luck man, around here we tend to celebrate in the celebratory gun fire fashion, so as they say "when in Rome".
