Thunderhill Raceway TV Update

Thunderhill’s new TV series is moving forward as two LA producers continue their work.  The show has been in the building stages for the last few months, and the momentum will speed up considerably once a network has accepted the offer.

The first Open Test-n-Tune session will be held a month from now on Saturday, February 5.  These practice sessions are scheduled from noon until dark every Saturday in February.  The first race of the 2011 racing season is scheduled for Saturday, March 5 – exactly two months from today!

Mark your calendars and get ready for what’s to come!!

Thunderhill Raceway Lands TV Series

You may have previously read about Thunderhill Raceway here, but did you know that this Kyle favorite is slated to star in its own TV series??  Awesome!!!

Los Angeles-based producers Paul Hogan and Sarah Platt will be venturing to Kyle at the beginning of the 2011 racing season to start shooting an unscripted series.  They are in talks with several networks and hope to begin  pre-production work in early 2011.  Mary Ann Naumann, Thunderhill Raceway’s Owner/Promoter, stated that, “This series will certainly be a positive boost for both the Kyle community and stock car racing in South Texas.”  Everyone is extremely excited to move forward with the project.

Be sure to visit once the 2011 season gets underway!  We’ll keep you posted when they start warming up the engines.

“Just a few minutes south of Kyle on I-35 at the Yarrington Road exit behind the Hyundai dealership is Thunder Hill Raceway where our 14 y.o. son, Matt, races his Allison Legacy race car on many Saturday nights.  The track has several different series of race cars that race.  They also have bicycle races on the track for kids, kiddie rides in the pace car, driver’s autograph booth, kid’s activities, lots of food and a good time for all ages.  Check their website for various special events like Crashfest, cars jumping off ramps, and many other specialties. You’ll never be disappointed in the races as there’s always spins, crashes, thrills, and fast cars!  Gates open at 4 p.m., qualifying starts at 4:15 p.m. and festivities start at 6 p.m. and are finished by 10 p.m.  Be sure to bring ear plugs!
