Thunderhill to rev 'em up in 2010

STAFF REPORT

KYLE — Thunderhill Raceway has reached a tentative agreement with its landowner, meaning the track is moving forward with plans for the 2010 season.

“We’ve had several meetings with the landowner, and negotiations have gone well,” said Mary Ann Naumann, Thunderhill’s owner and promoter. “A proposal has been drafted, and everything is now being processed through our attorneys. We expect to sign the final agreement in the next few days.”

To get ready for the 2010 season, Thunderhill Raceway is planning a drivers’ meeting on Saturday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m. In addition to giving the drivers an opportunity to register for next year, the rules for all classes – including TSRS (Texas Super Racing Series) – will be distributed at the meeting.

A pre-season registration discount will be offered to drivers who sign up for next season at the meeting. Drivers also will be given the opportunity to get the discount by registering early on line via Pay Pal (more information to follow).

Before the meeting, tentative 2010 schedules for both Thunderhill Raceway and TSRS will be released.

Naumann also said the Thunderhill/TSRS banquet will take place on Jan. 16. The awards banquet will be held at the Manchaca Fire Hall & Community Center at 1310 FM 1626 in Manchaca. The banquet will begin with a social hour at 5 p.m., followed by an all-you-can-eat catfish dinner at 6 p.m., an awards ceremony at 7 p.m., and live music from 10 p.m.-midnight.
