Sprint cars at the Dust Bowl – Thunder Raceway!

Thunder Raceway – 1st race of the season.

Welcome race fans, Show Low Arizona and DirtCars.com proudly present to you the 1st race of the 2010 racing season at Thunder Raceway!  Non winged Sprint cars and mini sprints.  A windy day show, that also helped dry out the track.  We named this race the dust bowl.

It was just a nice relaxing afternoon at our local dirt track, my father and I parked in the first parking space and waited about 15 minutes before getting in line at the gate, we were the second race fans in line.  The ticket sales were to open at 11:00 a.m.  however, about 11:30 someone at the back of the line was tired of standing there so long after getting to the track early, so he went down to the pit gate and voiced his dissatisfaction.  Three minutes later they were selling tickets.

I shot the following clips with my Flip video recorder, although a little fuzzy you get a taste of how it went.  From packing the track, hot laps, heat races then the main events.  I did not record complete races but I learned a lot for next time.

DirtCars.com wishes Thunder Raceway a safe and fun racing season in 2010.  Enjoy the video…
