Press release from Thunder RC Raceway:

As most of you have heard by now the building that Thunder is located in has been sold. The sale doesn't finalize for another 3-4 weeks but this puts us right before the Southern Nats which is really disappointing for all of us here as well as everyone signed up.

The GOOD NEWS is that I have decided to open up a new place that I have found which is over twice as large (22,600sqft), has full heat and full AC. It is about 30 minutes away from where Thunder is and located in Murfreesboro, TN.

The new place will be owned by me with Robert Dirla running the races for us. There is NO WAY I could do this alone and there are several people behind the scenes helping as well to get this going. It will have a 96x48 Carpet On road track and 85x55 Carpet off road track. It will also have pits for around 150 people (eventually) with room for more to be added as needed.

The lease will be finalized in the next couple of days and all of us from Thunder will be working non stop to get the new track (all new subfloor with existing carpet) built in the next few weeks. There will be enough pits to take all the extra entries we have on the wait list as well.

For the USVTA Southern Nats the place wont be 100% complete by any means but we will have the track, drivers stand and most of the pits built. There will still need to be some work on the Offices and paint work but that will have to wait until after the race more than likely due to the short amount of time we have to get ready. Our main goal right now is to get into the building, get the necessities done so we can have our largest and best USVTA Southern Nats ever.

Myron is working on a new group of hotels as well and there are TONS of them in the area within minutes of the track. The track is located right off the interstate and food is also in abundance within a few minutes of the track.

If anyone has any questions or concerns they can contact Robert Dirla, Myron Kinnard or myself either here, our phones (which most have) or emails.
