Barre, VT — Longtime Thunder Road supporter, historian, car owner and builder Lloyd Hutchins passed away yesterday, January 3, 2024. Hutchins got his start with Thunder Road International Speedbowl while the track was being built in the spring of 1960. He worked alongside Ken Squier and the Cooley Brothers to carve the iconic highbanks out of a vast farm at the end of Fisher Road. As the story goes, it was Hutchins who helped place the railroad ties along the frontstretch as the first wall, placing them on the infamous angle that later gave it the Widowmaker moniker.
