Thunder Valley Raceway Park

Motorsport für Jedermann !
Hier bezahlt man 10 Dollar Eintritt und kann dann selbst an den Start gehen. Zumindest wenn keine größeren Veranstaltungen stattfinden.
Es gibt ausreichend Tribünenplätze und einfaches und günstiges Essen !!
So etwas brauchen wir in Deutschland auch dringend !!! ;-)

It is a quarter mile race track. There are plenty of bleacher seats and standing room, they offer food and drinks, and the grounds are easy to walk.
I have not raced cars or motorcycles at other tracks, but the track here seems well kept. Some things do concern me about how oil spills are cleaned up when a racer’s motor blows out, but Thunder Valley seems to do a great job at cleaning up the oil and keeping racer and viewer safety priority.
The race slips they offer have several readings regarding distance, speed, reaction time, and time; the most popular lengths are ¹⁄₈ and ¼. It says your time and mph for the distance. I hope to share pics of slips as soon as i find them.
There are several lanes open for automobiles and a couple lanes for motorcycles. There is a burnout area just before the staging area with a great light tree to assist with pre-​staging and staging.
They have public events with spectators where the public can race their vehicle, and events with private racers but the public is spectating.

People should have been told that starting line was going to be at the 8^th to the finish. I have been setting in stands for hours and then find out that we can’t even see the race. This night has only upset my man. There are so many people disappointed with this evening. We drove a long way and took off work to enjoy a track that was new to us.

This place is the place to go to see some of the fastest street cars in America! Big Chief and Murder Nova show up pretty frequent at big events with the rest of the Midwest Street Cars crew. The stadium is pretty old so don’t expect recliners for seating but hey… This is a drag strip! They hold events pretty much every week, weather permitting. Some big sponsors show up during events such as 1320 video and Nitrous Outlet. They have racing fuel fuel pumps there so you won’t have to worry about fuel and availability. I’ve heard that they will be having NO2 tanks to fill up as well. Over all this place is great to get out and see some fast cars!

Love this place!
My fiancé took me here on a weekend for the day and it was awesome. Lots of great cars, friendly folks who don’t mind chatting it up with you about what they’ve done to their cars.
The place was well kept, clean and staff were friendly. Bathrooms were near the bleachers and well kept. I didn’t try their food but everyone seemed happy with it and it looked pretty good.
I don’t have anything bad to say about this place. It was a great experience and I will be back again for sure.
Note: always wear (and bring with you) a high SPF sunblock. It’s needed.
