Default Update

Check out the new layout thats being run counterclockwise. This is to get people prepared for Snowbirds. The track is ultra smooth and fast.

For any of you coming to Thunder Jam 4, you can really test yourself and get that much needed race in, this is the event for you.

Like Thunder Jams in the past, this will be a very good race that will give everyone something to shoot for.

But it will also be ran on the BEST track Thunder Rc Raceway ever had....


We look forward to seeing you all

Default Thunder Jam #4

ok guys the time and days are going really fast.....Thunder Jam is just around the corner, and looking really good...

Like Ive said before, if you are going to Snowbirds in FL, this is a perfect race to get ready for it...plenty of fast guys to race against and a super smooth track with new carpet...and big enough to get that "BIG" race feel...and dont forget ...
"The Visitor from Sweden (Alexander Hagberg) will be here the 26th of Jan through the 29th but will not be racing the 29th. Our flight to the birds is at 3PM Sunday. He will be there all day friday and Saturday for those wanting to come run with us. Practice will be available for a special price!

EA "

But even if Snowbirds isnt in your plans...Thunder Jam has been a great event year after year for USVTA racers as well as TC and 12th scale..with the new track and an open door for alot of new racers, I can see VTA and GT being awesome...and as smooth as the track is I see a really good 12th scale class with TC

and above all else, its $5 more on the entry and carries a cash payout...in any class with 5 or more...and trophy as well for Jr VTA and VTA...

plus $25 CASH for overall concourse winner and Final Race of the Night
USVTA Super Main...VTA cars will go 50 laps. Winner will take home $50 Cash...

its a win win for all the racers attending the
4th Annual Thunder Jam Championships..(Birds Warm-up) Sunday Jan 29, 2012 @ Thunder RC Raceway in Nashville,TN

another great event from Thunder RC Raceway...

I would like to thank all the local racers for your very well needed support for our hobby and track. Its makes me feel really good to see you guys come out and race and support our track. I hope I can someday repay all of you....

I also want to thank the Memphis, Bama and ATL crews( around 20 entries) that showed alot of love to our track and event. Its such a pleasure to get this many out of town guys here just to run on our track and support the onroad program.

And to all the USVTA guys...you guys are the BEST...Im very proud of the class and the effort all of you have done to support it....I would like to continue to put events together for you guys and keep giving something back to all of you for keeping VTA up and going.

I kept the results to put in my folder....its something special...

Robert Dirla, Mike Skeen, and EA, simple thanks...Im ready for Snowbirds

thank you all and I hope to get some of you to goto Bama with me on March 3rd......
